136: Spencer Greenberg | Cultivating Clearer Thinking for Cloudy Times

Spencer Greenberg ( @SpencrGreenberg ) is a mathematician, entrepreneur, and founder of Clearer Thinking , a website that trains people to overcome their own biases and make better decisions rationally. What We Discuss with Spencer Greenberg: Common logical fallacies and concepts like black and white thinking, cherry picking, straw man arguments, and the typical mind fallacy.
