Welcome back! In this episode of Applied Curiosity Lab Radio we chomp on a Curiosity Bite the explores how much control we have over the decisions we seem to make...and why we should or shouldn't care.
If you could choose only one, would you choose to know "how" or "why" decisions are made for you?
Is freedom of choice a perception more than it's a reality?
Why is it different to say that I can't be a quantum physicist than it is to say that I can't be 7-feet tall?
Can you have enough grit to become anything? Anything!?
 
Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!
The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.
This week's Curiosity Bite:
Do we have the right to know how and why decisions are made for us?
Should we want to know?
In this episode...Curious Questions asked and answered:
If you had to choose to know how things are decided for you and why things are decided for you, what would you choose?

Would you allow an algorithm to make wise decisions for you?

When it comes to making decisions, do you think your brain is likely to glitch less than an algorithm?

Is knowing how decisions are made too much of an uncomfortable reality?
