Dr. Nicholas Wright: Warhead and the Neuroscience of War

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.
