About this listen

 We explore how to understand the mind using the ideas of David Deutsch and the philosophy of Critical Rationalism. We cover 3 types of internal knowledge—Statements, Intuitions, and Drives—and how conflicts between them shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. By learning to evaluate these signals based on their content (not their category) we can make better decisions and solve problems more effectively.Timestamps00:00 Intro 01:47 The 3 Types of Knowledge We Use02:13 Type 1: Statements (conscious explicit knowledge)02:42 Type 2: Intuitions (conscious inexplicit knowledge)03:40 Type 3: Drives (unconscious knowledge)05:29 How Conflicts Between Knowledge Creates "Problems"06:11 Examples of Different Types of Knowledge in Conflict07:55 The Mistake of Judging Knowledge Based on Type Instead of Content 10:08 The Correct Way to Deal with Statements, Intuitions and Drives10:14 Example 1: Gloomy Monday11:16 Example 2: Stressful Thursday12:27 Example 3: Happy News13:19 Recap and wrap-upFeatured linksPrevious episode: • Why Critical Rationalists—Like David Deuts...
