Recent book tour appearance on Bill Maher's HBO Real Time.
Well worth enduring Christopher Rufo.
ONE MORE: JESSICA ON THE DAILY SHOW
Fun interview. "Why is it so hard to change peoples' minds?"
Well, one basic factor is that THERE IS NO FIRST PERSON SINGULAR PRESENT TENSE EXPRESSION OF THE WORD "WRONG."
No one ever says "I AM wrong."
A BIT OF PERSONAL BACKGROUND TOPICAL CONNECTION
While, as I've noted, I was mostly unaware of Jessica and her work, i did see a jpeg of her prospective book cover many months ago. I thought at the time "hmmm... well isn't that interesting?"
Back nearly a decade ago I'd planned to use thr same top title, based on my experience as a post-grad school faculty adjunct teaching collegiate "Critical Thinking."
"Oh, well, ya can't copyright a book title."
Adverse life events stalled the idea, but in the last year I've thought about perhaps taking another crack at it under a different title, after first thinking about using "We Disagree."
My intent would be to "drill down" a bit deeper into the broader technical nuts & bolts mapping to the academic & clinical literature. My scary-smart wife and I both have Psych degrees, so we can likely collaboratively vet sufficient, material documentation. I've also done a good bit of post-academic self-study on topics such as "Deliberation Science."
