To make a sound decision, take a meaningful action, or solve a problem—whether as individuals, in groups, or as a society—we need first to understand reality.
S. Perlmutter, J. Campbell, and R. MacCoun
Introduction
No matter where we live or the work we do, the 21st century is becoming increasingly hard to navigate.
Our individual actions affect our environment, the people in our lives, and even people we don't know, but we have to sift through an ever-expanding amount of information to work out what is true and what is right.
At the University of California, Berkeley, renowned physicist Saul Perlmutter, philosopher John Campbell, and psychologist Robert MacCoun created a course – Sense and Sensibility and Science – to help younger generations think critically and make rational decisions.
Based on their course, Perlmutter, Campbell, and MacCoun's 2024 book, Third Millennium Thinking, offers scientific tools for making sense of our complex reality.
