SUMMARY:Myth Understandings: An Evening of Comedy with Shane Mauss
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many persistent myths\, superstitions\, and folk beliefs arise? Why does our social brain love stories that feel true over facts that are true? Shane’s newest show explores how the weirdest\, funniest misunderstandings in human history come from our very human minds. \nExpect to laugh and learn in equal measure as we explore: \n\nCartoonishly bad ideas that stuck around for centuries\nHow cognitive biases and social instincts drive our love of myth and lore\nWhy modern misinformation feels so compelling\n\nIt’s part aha\, part haha\, and all about celebrating curiosity and the pursuit of understanding.
