Causation without correlation, money & happiness, hype vs value, and more | Spencer Greenberg
In today’s episode, host Rob Wiblin speaks for a fourth time with listener favourite Spencer Greenberg — serial entrepreneur and host of the _Clearer Thinking_ podcast — about a grab-bag of topics that Spencer has explored since his last appearance on the show a year ago.
They cover:
• How much money makes you happy — and the tricky methodological issues that come up trying to answer that question.
• The importance of hype in making valuable things happen.
• How to recognise warning signs that someone is untrustworthy or likely to hurt you.
• Whether Registered Reports are successfully solving reproducibility issues in science.
• The personal principles Spencer lives by, and whether or not we should all establish our own list of life principles.
• The biggest and most harmful systemic mistakes we commit when making decisions, both individually and as groups.
• The potential harms of lightgassing, which is the opposite of gaslighting.
• How Spencer’s team used non-statistical methods to test whether astrology works.
• Whether there’s any social value in retaliation.
• And much more.
