Ep. 310: Daniel Simons Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

Daniel Simons
Daniel Simons

My guest today is Daniel Simons, an experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, and Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois. Simons is most well known for his work on change blindness and inattentional blindness, two surprising examples of how people can be unaware of information right in front of their eyes. His research interests also include visual cognition, perception, memory, attention, and awareness.

The topics are experimental psychology and cognitive science.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Simons’ YouTube success
  • The definition of inattentional blindness
  • Why our intuition about our own minds is often wrong
  • Money managers and weather forecasters
  • Serial tasking, multitasking, and focus
  • How Simons became immersed in this area of study
  • Memory and attention, and the myths and misconceptions surrounding them
  • The notion of intuition, gut decisions, and Simons’ thoughts on Malcolm Gladwell’s “Blink”
  • The idea of preparation in relation to expert performance
  • The science behind eyewitness testimony
  • How our minds don’t work the way we think they do

Feedback in:

Dear Mr. Covel, Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my emails in the past. I admire you and what you do. Thank you for the wealth of education and the opportunity to dive deep into the world of trend following.

I would enjoy the opportunity to gain lots of experience in the world of trend following. I would like to explore the opportunity of offering my employment services free of charge to anyone (yourself included) who could benefit from the services of a young, ambitious, intelligent and entrepreneurial spirit.

My family’s life needs a change. We are a young family of 5 with a 7, 2 and 5 month old. My wife and I have discussed this at length, and I am ready to put in 24 hr days anywhere in the world. I have been an entrepreneur all my life. I am not scared to work. I am willing to relocate if you would agree that any opportunity presenting itself warrants it, or work remotely on any endeavour where I can gain more knowledge and some first hand experience.

I am sure this is not the first email of this type that you have received. But mark my words, I am willing to give my all to anyone who needs assistance and help them make a lot of money!

I am available any time of day or night to discuss this in further detail if necessary. 2015 needs to be a fresh start for me and my family. I am ready to give my all to whomever could use a hard worker in their business.

With Regards,
[Name]
