Episode #3: Predictions, Predictions

It's the beginning of the year and it seems like everyone is making predictions. How about this one: people with large brains are smarter than people with small brains. Don't believe it? Neither do we. Find out why this prediction is hogwash and what makes for good and bad predictions.

: listen to episode 3 on Popper’s thoughts on how hypotheses must be falsifiable.

This episode talks a bit about one of the first (and very crude) attempts to understand intelligence. The topic of intelligence is fascinating and here is a link to a fascinating talk by Sir Ken Robinson about our need to redefine the concept of intelligence and how important creativity will be in our world. Great podcast.
