Transformative Experiences || L.A. Paul

L.A. Paul joins Scott Barry Kaufman to discuss her work on transformative experiences—decisions whose outcomes cannot be fully understood before living through them. The conversation covers how trauma can catalyze growth without making the original pain worthwhile, the limits of imagining our future selves, and the role of values in personal change. They also apply the transformative experience framework to artificial intelligence, urging caution as both human values and AI systems may shift in unpredictable ways.
