Why We're Mean to Our Future Selves (LIVE from Boston)

This podcast episode explores the field of cognitive neuroscience, which studies how the brain gives rise to our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We learn how our brains are primed to think about and interact with others, and the different brain mechanisms we use to think about different kinds of people. The episode also discusses the ways in which our brains make mistakes when judging others, and the challenges of predicting our future selves. The guest speaker, Jason Mitchell, offers strategies to help us overcome these biases and make better decisions for our future selves.
