Brian Christian presents "Algorithms to Live By"
About this Seminar:
It is possible to be extremely astute about how we manage difficult decisions.  With just a few mental tools we get the benefit of better outcomes along with release from agonizing about the process of deciding.  

Many mental toolsalgorithmsdeveloped with obligatory clarity for computers turn out to have ready application for humans facing such problems as: when to stop hunting for an apartment (or lover); how much novelty to seek; how to get rid of the right stuff; how to allot scarce time; how to consider the future; when to relax constraints; how to give chance a chance; how to recognize when youre playing the wrong game; and how to make decisions easier for others (computational kindness).

Brian Christian, the co-author of Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions, lives in San Francisco, deploying his degrees in philosophy, computer science, and poetry.

About the Series:
The Seminars About Long-term Thinking were started in 02003 to build a coherent, compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.
