Details

Do you allow just anyone to enter your home? Do you reveal your suffering to anyone who will listen? Do you ever find yourself holding back from full self-expression because you do not trust your current social context? Do you accept friend requests from everyone who asks to be your friend on Facebook? Do you believe most things you read on Twitter and other social media? Do you act as if your vote is counted properly in local, state, and federal elections? Trust permeates our daily lives, from one-on-one interactions to social media, to looking for help, to casting a ballot in an election. How do we decide who or what to trust? Is there a right or wrong way to trust? Are some people, social media sites, and forms of government more trustworthy than others? Why? The present talk/workshop will discuss the neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy of trust, and how it impacts our assumptions regarding freedom, democracy, and the notion of human rights.
