About this listen

On Episode 101, Nick chats with David Thorstad, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, about his research at the intersection between bounded rationality and inquiry that addresses what rationality requires of bounded agents with limited cognitive abilities, normative and descriptive challenges to longtermism, the ethical view that we should give significant moral weight to positively impacting the future, and his new book, Inquiry Under Bounds, which takes as its starting point a five-point bounded rationality program inspired by recent work in cognitive science.
