There’s a reason why this is happening: there’s a strong norm in psychology that you’re not allowed to think, believe, or talk about something without data for it. The idea that you would decrease your incertainty by using knowledge of how something was engineered is very foreign.

That photo was very likely taken here (in our old neighborhood in Dahlem), which is currently the Hahn-Meitner building owned by the FU maps.app.goo.gl/fuHYKupYkqNY...

Thanks, Dan! I’ve re-listened to every episode (14ish) and I’m surprised how interesting I find them (I don’t get a chance to casually listen the first time around 😂). It’s a testament to David and our interesting colleagues. Next episode is about controversies and then we begin interviews.
