Humans are masters of the art of deception 鈥� like it or not, it鈥檚 hard to disagree.
But the art of SELF-deception is all around 鈥� the manifold ways which we subconsciously kid ourselves about our motivations and deepest desires. From little white lies to fake news, self-placebos to dodgy dossiers.
In today鈥檚 episode, advertising guru and behavioural expert Rory Sutherland speaks to a legendary figure in evolutionary biology 鈥� the American geneticist Robert Trivers, who wrote the foreword to Richard Dawkins鈥� Selfish Gene. He鈥檚 also joined by evolutionary psychologist Diana Fleischman, and 鈥済uru of randomness鈥�, the statistician and author of 鈥淏lack Swan鈥�, Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
