#Rewriting #DesireForPower #CognitivePsychology
Why do we need to rewrite democracy? What would such rewriting entail? In this session, a leading cognitive psychologist shares his thesis on how societies only change when people engage in willing and repeated analysis and reflection. He uses his powers of analysis to probe the minds of politicians, shedding light on their guiding motivation - the desire for power - as well as the ways society kindles this desire. Is there a clear way to know whether a politician is simply in it for the power? Our speaker shares his insights on how to tell the difference.
