What if the people shaping public policy are the most deluded among us?

In this episode of Conversations with Peter Boghossian, Peter and Dr. Scott Scheall, Associate Professor of Philosophy & Economics at the University of Austin (UATX) dig into what happens when ideology overrides mission. From California’s literal wildfires to the metaphorical ones burning through our institutions, the two explore the delusion of competence, the psychological trap of "unknown unknowns," and the real-world consequences of electing leaders more obsessed with optics than outcomes.

Guest: Dr. Scott Scheall, Associate Professor of Philosophy & Economics in the Center for Economics, Politics & History at the University of Austin (UATX)
