SUMMARY:Probability and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:John Holmgren\, EHST member and Mathematical Psychologist\, will make the claim  that all real-world ethical decisions are based on probability.  He will then attempt to prove that claim by showing through argument\, examples\, and consideration of some well-known ethical dilemmas how both objective and subjective probability considerations affect our ethical decision-making.   A question and answer period will follow his talk. \nMr. Holmgren received a PhD in Mathematical Psychology from Stanford in 1970.  After receiving his degree\, he was a member of the Psychology faculty at the University of Maryland\, where he taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics.  Most of his career was spent at Bell Laboratories (22 years)\, where he led groups developing new services for AT&T and worked on some of the initial applications of both speech recognition and speech synthesis in the phone system.  Since retiring in 2002\, Mr. Holmgren has maintained his interest in probability theory through reading and problem solving. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please email info@ehstnc.org with your first and last name to be registered as an attendee for this program.
