How Not To Think

By: Howard Rankin
  • Summary

  • "People aren't logical, they're psychological with the emphasis on the psycho," writes Dr Howard Rankin. An expert in cognitive neuroscience, Howard recently published his book I Think Therefore I Am Wrong which looks at the many ways we can sabotage our thinking through cognitive biases, binary thinking, false assumptions and numerous other strategies. The How Not To think podcast examines how this false reasoning manifests itself in many areas of society through myths, and 'conventional wisdom.' Howard speaks with leaders in their fields to examine the impact of faulty thinking that occurs in every sphere of life.

  • How Not to Think about Free Will
    May 19 2023

    David Lawrence, author of Are We Biochemical Robots, is a philosophical proponent of free will, opposing the determinist view held by many new media personalities that all things are pre-determined by outside forces. Lawrence wrote his book as a response to the 10th anniversary of Sam Harris’ book Free Will, in an effort to expose the flawed thinking that Harris’ book and determinist idealogy present and to address the central arguments against the existence of human free will. His insights, ideas, and explorations reveal why the great debate between determinism and free will matters. He has a B.A. in philosophy from UCLA and a Jurisdoctor law degree from USC.
