Course Description

Overview

Explore the groundbreaking insights into human nature revealed by cognitive sciences in this thought-provoking TED-Ed talk by New York Times columnist David Brooks. Delve into the implications of these findings for economics, politics, and self-understanding as Brooks humorously demonstrates why humans cannot be understood as isolated individuals making choices based solely on conscious awareness. Discover how our interconnected nature as social animals shapes our decision-making processes and behaviors in ways that challenge traditional views of human cognition and social dynamics.
