Podcaster and author Julia Galef\xa0talks about her book\xa0The Scout Mindset with\xa0EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Galef urges us to be more rational--to be open-minded about what we might discover about the world--rather than simply defend what we already believe, which she calls the soldier mindset.
