  Finding Voice For Authentic...

  Terry Tempest Williams

  Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
  She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
  In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

  Why Intelligent People Do Stupid...

  John Harpoon

  Intelligence is often seen as the key to making sound decisions, yet many highly intelligent individuals find themselves making choices that defy logic and reason. This paradox is at the heart of why even the smartest people can sometimes act in ways that are seemingly irrational. Despite possessing vast knowledge, sharp problem-solving skills, and an ability to think critically, intelligent people often fall victim to cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and societal pressures that lead them to make poor decisions. Understanding why this happens requires an exploration into the intricate relationship between intelligence and decision-making. 
    
  At the core of this paradox lies the idea that rationality and intelligence do not always go hand in hand. While intelligence may increase the ability to process information and analyze complex scenarios, it does not always shield individuals from the cognitive biases that distort perception and judgement. In fact, many intelligent individuals are even more susceptible to these biases because they rely heavily on their analytical skills, assuming that their logic will always lead them to the right conclusion. However, this overreliance can blind them to the emotional and social factors that influence decision-making, causing them to overlook key details or make choices based on faulty assumptions. 
    
  Furthermore, decision-making is not solely a rational process; emotions play a crucial role in guiding our actions, and they can often override logic. Intelligent individuals are not immune to emotional influences such as stress, fear, or the desire for instant gratification. These emotions can cloud judgement, leading to impulsive decisions or the failure to consider long-term consequences. This is particularly true in high-pressure situations where the stakes are high, and the need to make quick decisions can push even the most intelligent person into making mistakes.
