Thursday, October 2, 2014, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)
We will start the new quarter with a discussion of political issues that will likely dominate the election in November. We will use this TED Talk by Jonathan Haidt to get started. He is concern with the political divide between the Left and the Right. One side sees an issue as existential, like an approaching asteroid. While the other side sees the same issue as minor or a hoax. Watch the video to see his examples of Political Asteroids. Come with you own examples of Political Asteroids that we can discuss in the upcoming meetings in October.
