Steven Poole: Think for Yourself

Available for over a year

Steven Poole argues that we should resist the modern message, from pop science and brain scans, that humans are irrational creatures, driven by instant judgement and primordial urges. Instead, he says we should stand up together and say we can think, and that's what makes us human. Four Thought is a series of talks which combine new ideas and personal stories. Speakers explain their latest thinking on the trends and ideas in culture and society in front of a live audience. It is recorded in front of a live audience at Somerset House in London. Producer: Giles Edwards.
