In the second half of our conversation with Dr. Andy Morgan, we cover topics including:⁠⁠- Advice for people seeking careers in the intelligence community⁠- Andy’s work as an expert witness testifying at the International Criminal Court⁠- The effects of trauma on memory, and why an inconsistent story of a traumatic event does not indicate lying⁠- How people can be given false memories, and how he did so in his research⁠- The science and myths of human lie detection⁠- When polygraphs are BS and when they're not⁠- The appeal of "corporate horoscopes", aka made-up personality tests sold to corporations⁠- Methods for rapidly learning or memorizing information. ⁠If you haven’t done so already, please check out the first episode of this talk (Episode 21), where Dr. Morgan discusses the psychology and biology of performance under stress in special operators, the characteristics of effective special operators, and what it is that the operational psychs are looking for at selection and assessment courses. Timestamps:Part 2:00:00:51 How to Join the Intelligence Community00:05:19 Testifying at the Hague00:20:54 Detecting Deception00:23:56 Polygraphs00:29:15 Magic and Tarot00:33:24 The Yale Harold Fiasco00:35:51 Memory Castles00:41:34 Association00:45:35 Yohimbe and Norepinephrine
