Being an Objective Consumer of Science

Gregory Salmieri

Presented at: OCON 2014

Date: Jun 28, 2014

Much of the advantage of a division-of-labor economy comes from the division of intellectual labor: by specializing in different fields and exchanging our findings, we can know incomparably more than anyone could on his own. But since the mind is an attribute of the individual, we cannot rely uncritically on the conclusions of others. This lecture discusses how we, as non-experts, can objectively evaluate and reason about the scientific conclusions that inform so much of our life.
