SUMMARY:Thomas More's Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Using Thomas More’s Utopia as our foundation\, we’ll examine our own state of mental and emotional health in present day society during this living room Olio event with professor Patricia Kim. \n​Why does the future look so bleak? And what does that have to do with the state of our individual and collective mental health? \nMuch of the dialogue in this Olio will be about our own state of mental and emotional affairs. History is a collection of traumatic events that have been scripted in human blood and mortality and we have all been dropped into its narrative miasma. This makes for a great deal of stress that we will collectively take on in an ad hoc group therapy modality. We will use Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’ to frame our undeniably parallel social issues and better understand not just the text\, but ourselves as individuals. We’ll begin by examining trauma and its aftermath (both historically and presently) and end with examining the following NYC Dept. of Health’s statistic: that 1 in 5 New Yorkers has a mental disorder. We will then look at how depression and anxiety (two of the most prevalent diagnoses) have affected our present\, and perhaps\, more importantly\, their effects on our collective future. \nQuestions to think about: \nWhat are More’s thoughts on social ills and their relationship to mental illness? What are yours?\nWould More be surprised at the state of our society today? Why or why not? \nWhat are the ways in which we can collectively work to become a healthier community/society? \nAbout the Teacher: \nPatricia Kim received her MFA from Columbia University and teaches Composition and Literature classes at Baruch College while completing a novel.

SUMMARY:Saad Amer: Climate Action: Why Collective Action is The Answer
DESCRIPTION:With wildfires in California\, devastating hurricanes across the Atlantic\, and record temperatures across the US\, climate change is more visible than ever. Despite the billions of dollars in damages and lives lost this last year\, the US is moving backward in climate policy. While individual actions can make a difference\, systematic change is essential in dealing with the Climate Crisis\, especially given its impact on marginalized communities\, human health\, inequality and the economy. This talk\, featuring Saad Amer\, will focus on the why voting is essential\, how we can organize our communities\, and how we can turn the momentum on climate into a movement to the polls come 2020. \nSaad Amer is an environmentalist\, activist and the Founder of Plus1Vote\, an organization dedicated to improving voter turnout and improving representation in our democracy.

SUMMARY:Don’t Be Evil: Rana Foroohar
DESCRIPTION:In the early days\, when Google was a scrappy upstart with a utopian vision of transforming the world for the better through tech\, its mantra was “Don’t be evil.” But they and other behemoths of the tech world—including Amazon\, Facebook\, and Apple—have long since abandoned their founding principles in the name of monetizing both our data and our attention through digital surveillance\, privacy breaches\, predatory algorithms\, and products designed to manipulate our desires. Don’t Be Evil is acclaimed journalist Rana Foroohar’s investigation of the dark turn tech has taken from weaving our social fabric to undoing it.

SUMMARY:Midcentury Stereopanorama with Eric Drysdale: Look and see the 1950s in 3-D!
DESCRIPTION:For the last 20 years\, writer and comedian Eric Drysdale has been collecting photographs from the 1950s taken by amateurs with the Stereo Realist 3-dimensional camera system.  This remarkable technology was something like the ‘50s version of virtual reality\, pairing Kodak’s Kodachrome film with a precision viewer to deliver uncannily realistic\, full-color\, three-dimensional images. Think of it as an IMAX View-Master.\n\nDuring the Stereo Realist’s heyday in the early 1950s\, the mass-market 3-D camera was being used in hundreds of thousands of American households —but the technology has been largely forgotten.\n\nEric has narrowed his collection of tens of thousands of these amazing images to about 150 of the best\, and you’ll see them the way they were meant to be seen – in fully-restored high-quality vintage stereoscopic viewers.

SUMMARY:The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise\, Thrive\, and Fall
DESCRIPTION:What are societies? What keeps them together and tears them apart?\n\n\n\nA New Yorker can fly to Los Angeles–or Borneo–with little fear. But\, If a chimpanzee ventures into the territory of a different group\, it will almost certainly be killed. \n\n\n\n\n\nPsychologists have done little to explain this: For years\, they have held that our biology puts a hard upper limit of about 150 people on the size of our social groups. But human societies are\, in fact\, vastly larger.\n\n\n\nHow do we manage—by and large—to get along with each other?\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Mark W. Moffett will discuss how sprawling\, highly complex societies have been created and what it takes to sustain them. He will examine the social adaptations that bind the members to their societies and explores how the tension between identity and anonymity defines how those groups work—and sometimes don’t.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\nDr. Mark W. Moffett\, also known as “Doctor Bugs\,” the Indiana Jones of Entomology\,” “The Martha Stewart of dirt\,” and “the Jane Goodall of ants” is a Photographer and a Biologist.
