In This Episode: Join Dr. Dave and Dr. Dan as they dig deep into the fascinating world of rational decision-making and the often perplexing tendency for rational individuals to make irrational choices. Highlights include:

  - The Need for Story and a Villain: Dr. Dan explores the psychological components that drive our need for a narrative and an antagonist, especially under severe stress.   - Offense Wins the Game of Information: Hear Dr. Dave's perspective on the frailties of the healthcare community’s response to COVID-19.
