John Casti: How Our Mood Affects Our Future
It is no accident that "futurists" flop, says Professor John L. Casti: Most social prediction is based on the extrapolation of present trends into the future, and generally fails because trends change. Casti, author of Mood Matters, explains how the collective mood of a population biases the events we can expect, arguing that the presumption that events cause social moods and trends is exactly backward. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by Publicola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.
