Mathematical Rigor v. Reality - SOLO! Drs. M.S. DeLay & A.V. Bendebury, DemystifySci #375

The Demystify Duo sits down for a conversation about the hidden
variable that decides how successful someone’s ideas will be.
Normally, you hear that intelligence, the “g-factor” that Richard
Haier and other intelligence reasearchers point to, is the
decisive factor for worldly success. And while that might be true
in some purely quantitative sense that’s measured in terms of
salary or stock options or whatever, that seems to not be the
most important thing for being able to see the world accurately.
We spend the conversation trying to define what that hidden
variable is, and why it’s so important to cultivate, and how
weird it is that no one seems to realize it’s there.
