 Noam Chomsky  Robert Kenner |
 David Brooks |
Noam Chomsky, one of our nation’s most renowned intellectuals, describes how seemingly harmless elements of our socialization — from language to the way we draw maps and more — promote one world view over another.
Columnist David Brooks of “The New York Times” discusses his bestselling book, “The Road to Character,” in which he writes that the lives best lived are informed not by fame and fortune, but by deeper values like kindness, bravery, honesty, and faithfulness. Filmmaker Robert Kenner discusses his documentary “Merchants of Doubt,” which lifts the curtain on a secretive group of charismatic spin doctors who are paid to manipulate public opinion on issues ranging from tobacco use to climate change. |
