Dr. Angus Fletcher — How “Story Thinking” is the operating system of the brain.

from The UNcivilized Podcast with Traver Boehm · host Traver Boehm

The brain and a computer are light years apart from being the same. It is true that both store data, process information, and perform tasks. However, although technology tries to simulate the human intelligence processes, the human brain has proven to be better adapted than any computer could. To dive into this topic, today we will be joined by the Story Science Professor, Angus Fletcher. Angus is a man curious about the human brain and how it works. His research led him to discover how history can help us to be tougher, capable, and to have courage. During this episode, we talked about chaos, growth, attitude change, and initiative-taking. In addition, we will also be talking about the brain as a machine and why it is superior to computers, a topic worth listening to. Don't miss this episode! ABOUT ANGUS FLETCHER Angus Fletcher is Professor of Story Science at Ohio State's Project Narrative. His research with teams in US Special Operations, Silicon Valley, and the Healthcare Community explains why children are more creative than AI, how to adapt and overcome in fast-changing chaotic environments, and how to more effectively treat grief, burnout, and trauma.
