Joseph Henrich on WEIRD Societies and Life Among Two Strange Tribes (Live at Mason)
Conversations with Tyler - Un podcast de Mercatus Center at George Mason University - Les mercredis
Catégories:
To anthropologist Joseph Henrich, intelligence is overrated. Social learning, and its ability to influence biological evolution over time, is what really sets our species apart. He joined Tyler for a conversation on his work on cultural evolution, as well as his life among different tribes (academic and otherwise), Star Trek, big gods, small gods, China’s missing industrial revolution, the merits of coconut milk, the Flynn effect, American exceptionalism, and why he wants to travel in time to 6th-century Kent.
