EP707 - Ambiguity, mind vs brain, talking with people [Ratio Talks with Richard Wiseman]

from Ratio Podcast · host Ratio Podcast

В този специален епизод на Ratio Talks Любо Бабуров разговаря с един от най-забавните и проницателни умове, който имахме честта да посрещнем на Ratio Forum пролет 2025 – психологът, илюзионист и автор на бестселъри Ричард Уайзман. Ричард е истинска легенда в света на скептицизма, науката за измамата и паранормалното. Той е не просто интересен събеседник, а човек, когото мечтаем да поканим още от самото начало на Ratio – преди повече от 14 години. И ето, че най-сетне се случи. В разговора ще чуете теми като: • Различията между ума и мозъка; • Природата на двусмислието и как боравим с него; • Какво значи „временна истина“ в науката; • И, разбира се, трудното (и понякога объркващо) изкуство да говориш с други хора. Не очаквайте академичен дебат, а жив, спонтанен и забавен разговор, в който Любо признава, че говори повече от нужното, но понякога срещата с любим гост те кара да се отприщиш. Може би Ричард го е анализирал по време на записа – а може би просто така се случи. Такива са хубавите разговори. 🎧 Чуйте епизода и ни споделете какво мислите – ще се радваме на всякакви коментари, реакции и въпроси! #english In this special episode of Ratio Talks, Lyubo Baburov speaks with one of the most entertaining and insightful minds we've had the honor of welcoming to Ratio Forum Spring 2025 – psychologist, illusionist, and bestselling author Richard Wiseman. Richard is a true legend in the world of skepticism, the science of deception, and the paranormal. He’s not just a fascinating guest – he’s someone we’ve dreamed of inviting ever since Ratio began, more than 14 years ago. And now, it’s finally happened. In this conversation, you’ll hear topics like: • The differences between the mind and the brain. • The nature of ambiguity and how we deal with it. • What “provisional truth” means in science. • And, of course, the tricky (and sometimes confusing) art of talking to other people. Don’t expect an academic debate – this is a lively, spontaneous, and fun conversation. Lyubo admits he talks more than he should, but sometimes meeting a long-awaited guest just opens the floodgates. Maybe Richard was analyzing him the whole time – or maybe that’s just how good conversations go. 🎧 Tune in and let us know what you think – we’d love to hear from you!
