Why Your Brain Fails at Saving the Planet: The New Science of Decision-Making
Decision Science for Future Earth: Theory and Practice
Are we hardwired to fail at solving global problems like climate change and biodiversity loss? This video dives into the groundbreaking book 'Decision Science for Future Earth: Theory and Practice,' revealing how our ancient brains—with their biases, groupthink, and moral instincts—sabotage collective decisions. Discover the IDEA cycle (Idea, Design, Experiment, Assess) that scientists use to turn flawed human cognition into adaptive, real-world solutions. From Japanese islands managing deer populations to Cambodian forests and Indian portable clinics, we explore how communities are defying cognitive traps to build a sustainable future. Written by experts like Tetsukazu Yahara, this is not just a science lesson—it's a survival guide for the Anthropocene. Watch to learn why your intuition lies, and how to think like a planet-saver.
