About the author
Julia Galef is an American writer and speaker on applied rationality. She co-founded the Center for Applied Rationality and hosted the Rationally Speaking podcast for more than a decade.
The Scout Mindset turns motivated reasoning into a contrast between defending territory and mapping it. Galef emphasizes emotional habits that make correction less threatening rather than expecting intelligence alone to remove bias.
