The Midwest Skeptics Society

NOVA "Mind Over Money" film. Game time again! One dollar fines will be enforced.

During the film and discussion you can't mention the words money or finances. If you say, spell, sign, write, imitate the words in any way you will be fined one dollar PLUS you have to tell us one of your so-called addictions! So, put your money where your mouth is and bring a pocket full of it!

Program Description

In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, NOVA presents "Mind Over Money"—an entertaining and penetrating exploration of why mainstream economists failed to predict the crash of 2008 and why we so often make irrational financial decisions. The program reveals how our emotions interfere with our decision-making and explores controversial new arguments about the world of finance. In the face of the recent crash, can a new science that aims to incorporate human psychology into finance—behavioral economics—help us make better financial decisions?

    After the film, the conversation was fun. I liked the dollar fines games because it was a hoot catching the offenders. The film was so so for me, but enlightening.
