In this episode of Changing Minds, I sit down with neuroscientist and author Dr. Nicholas Wright to explore the fascinating connections between the brain, moral decision-making, and war.

We dive into:

  • Why does every side believe they're morally justified in war?

  • How Culture and Identity Shape Nations and Conflicts.

  • The neuroscience of metacognition, and how "thinking about thinking" can make us wiser.

  • Lessons from World War II, Ukraine, and today's global risks.

  • How to stay informed in a world of misinformation and bias.

If you're curious about the intersection of neuroscience, history, and leadership, this conversation is for you.
