The Unfortunate Jedi Mind Trick that Broke Reality

The Critical Thinking Institute with Steve Pearlman

How is that people have come to "speak their truth"?
Why do some people think words can be "violence"?
Politically speaking, why can't people even agree on basic facts?
Whether you know it or not, your thinking has been affected, if not in certain ways infected, by a philosophy that emerged from academia in the latter half of the previous century--postmodernism. So, join Steve for a fascinating explanation of postmodernisms core ideas, and come to understand how it affects your thinking everyday, and how it as broken our world's very conceptions of truth and reality.
Most importantly, learn how to use your understanding of postmodernism to think more critically and discuss things more effectively, even when those around you are succumbing to its negative effects.
