Skeptics Society
Where: Caltech
Date: 2007-04-29 14:00:00
Type:
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Renowned social psychologist Dr. Carol Tavris takes a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right — a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.

Kenny's unequivocal force is balanced by authentic stories about family, relationships, teaching children and motivational speaking. Chris Clobber is sure to crack up his audience. Unlike many comedians today, Chris does not use profanity in his skits.
