Throughout our existence, humans have dipped our proverbial
toes into the how and the why of our thoughts and actions. But as
curious as we are, there is still a wide gap in our understanding of
what is fact and what is fictitious. To discover how to thwart
misinformation and move closer to understanding our psyches,
Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with
a scientist and a philosopher about their thoughts and
perspectives regarding the capabilities and limitations of the
human mind. Climate Scientist John Cook designed a cartoon and
game based on a ‘Cranky Uncle’ amalgam to teach our minds how
to have conversations with people who think differently than we
do. Simon Critchley shares philosophical takeaways from his book,
Bald: 35 Philosophical Short Cuts, and what he thinks humans
gained and lost during the pandemic, philosophically speaking.
