Talk | What's Reason Got to Do With It?: Why Americans Deny Climate Change, Embrace Creationism, Believe in Ghosts and Other Preposterous Ideas


With: Dr. Joseph Chuman. It is one of the most daunting questions we can ask about our fellow Americans. Why is it that despite the preponderance of evidence, not to mention and elementary reason, common sense, so many Americans adopt ideas for which there is no basis in fact. It is a social reality that is not only vexing and disturbing, but in its implications, dangerous as well. If people cannot or will not base their beliefs on evidence, how can they participate in a political system which relies on the public to make informed judgments that affect that the quality of democracy and the lives and freedoms of all of us? Is it a function of poor education or is something else going on?

Film | Documentary: Albert Maysles' Iris (2014)


The latest film from legendary documentarian Albert Maysles, Iris pairs the late 88-year-old filmmaker (who passed away on March 5) with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York City fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. Iris portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life's sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. 78 min.
