Professor Harvey Whitehouse
This distinguished lecture by Professor Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our evolved biases have shaped humanity’s past and imperil its future. Taking us deep into New Guinea tribes, Libyan militias, Brazilian football fans, and predatory ad agencies, I argue that the tools we once used to manage our biases are breaking down. But it isn’t too late to fix them.
