Discussion: Do improvisational acting and rationality go together? I think this link should be explored. Improvisation involves a special kind of relationship with System 1, which most people need to train in order to pull off well. As such, learning improv skills may improve fast reactions, particularly in social settings. Improv games are also good group bonding activities. We will play some improv games geared toward rationality skills, and discuss possible relationships between improv and rationality.
