Guest: Matt Novak, Writes for Gizmodo  There is lots of geeking out going on over a new installment of Star Wars, due out next month – which technically takes place “a long time ago and far far away.” But it’s pretty futuristic, if you ask me. And we’ve just marked Back to the Future day – October 21, 2015 – the date to which Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled to in the second installment of the film franchise. In 1985, the movie envisioned a world 30 years in the future where cars and skateboards flew, clothes and shoes automatically adjusted to fit and a thumbprint was all you needed to pay for a cab or open a door.

Social Responsibility Promotes Conservative Risk BehaviorOct 27, 201515mGuest: Gary Bolton, PhD, Professor of Managerial Economics at the University of Texas at Dallas  If you are a risk-taker, research shows you’ll be a little less-bold in your decisions when other people are involved.

Video and JusticeOct 27, 201517mGuest: G. Daniel Lassiter, PhD, Psychology Professor at Ohio University  Cellphone camera video of a white school officer upending the desk of a black high school student in South Carolina and dragging her across the floor went viral yesterday. Investigations are underway. It’s just the latest video to prompt debate over race and policing. Police departments across the country are getting federal grants to equip officers with body cameras. Hundreds of jurisdictions already require interrogations of suspects to be videotaped. The general thinking is that the camera doesn’t lie. That when video is available, the truth will out.

Intellectual ArroganceOct 27, 201511mGuest: Wade Rowatt, PhD, Psychology Professor at Baylor University  Nobody likes a know-it-all, except maybe when that person’s the ringer on your Trivia Night team. Generally, we consider humility better than arrogance.  Is one universally good and the other bad?
