Have you been watching the news recently and been thinking 'what the hell is happening here?' This episode is for you!
We're exploring how intelligence has changed in people over time- and why. What kinds of intelligence is this change mostly happening in? How does cognition and intelligence work, anyway? Where in the brain does it come from? What's the difference between intelligence and wisdom? Is social media making us less wise?
We're back, and now with a brand new microphone! In Polymath, we don't take questions like these and answer them based on 'hot takes': we use statistics and science. This episode is a massive journey through how the human mind works, what human nature is, what makes it wiser, and what humanity has been doing wrong- or right!
To break down this chonky episode into some more manageable segments, remember that all episodes and different parts of episodes can be found on my youtube channel under 'Daniel Aaron Levy' 🤓
Enjoy!
