Your Brain is Great… Except When It’s Not

Vourla Cafe 1860 Tamiami Trail, Naples, FL

While a little biased, neuroscientists believe the human brain is the most complex thing in the known universe. How is it that this three-pound mass can figure out how to successfully transplant a heart and then get stumped with a simple math problem? How is it that we can remember words of songs and then forget where we put the TV remote? Ever wonder how the letters FOX or CNN can turn the critical thinkers into biased haters? Our brain can lead us to do great things and then turn around and make us do things we regret. Join Dr. Steve Robbins for an insightful and fun look at how we might do more of the former and less of the latter.

The Rise of Anti-Science and Anti-Intellectualism in America: Evidence and Downside

Vourla Cafe 1860 Tamiami Trail, Naples, FL

There has been a rise in both anti-science sentiment and anti-intellectualism in America. How did this happen? Is this a consequence of today’s politicization of truth -- derived from “anti” issues about masks, climate or vaccines? Did this come from conflicts between science and religion, e.g. creationism vs evolution? Could it be traced all the way back to the Enlightenment giving way to Romanticism and other “isms"? Implications for our Country if science is no longer used as a guide to government policies? What are the consequences of diminishing support for science and education as drivers of our economy?

Debt, Deficits, U.S. Credit Downgrades – What Do They Foretell for America’s Economic Future and Global Leadership?

Vourla Cafe 1860 Tamiami Trail, Naples, FL

Speaker:James Bishop. These concepts are interrelated and have significant implications for our country's fiscal and economic health. Managing deficits and the national debt while navigating the debt ceiling can be complex, and credit rating downgrades can add additional pressure on governments to maintain sound fiscal policies and economic stability. How does this impact the future of the United States?
