186 | Translating Reality

What to Expect:

Interpretation in all its glorious forms. This episode explores the nuances of interpretation as they relate to translation of language, explanation of natural and behavioral phenomena, and data analysis. A complex history of exposure to different circumstances may have a substantial impact on how you interpret data, language, or any event. We explore the variables that contribute to how one’s interpretation forms and what it may be swayed in any direction by.
