SUMMARY:Perception versus Being Together
DESCRIPTION:After a video demonstrating the mechanism of perception which produces optical illusions and prevents accurate assessment of visual information\, we notice that the same mechanism seems to be at work in the ways we interact with each other. We are swamped in perception wars\, because the assumptions which keep us in our positions\, Us-Against-Them\, reside in narratives that own us\, that we can’t see out of. To experience a way of being together different from the one perception enables and enforces\, we engage with each other in physical exercises and activities\, some as simple as a handshake.

SUMMARY:Perception versus Being Together
DESCRIPTION:In unveiling the intricate workings of perception\, exposing its role in crafting optical illusions and distorting our grasp of visual reality\, we uncover a startling revelation: this very mechanism extends its reach into the fabric of our interpersonal interactions. Immersed in a battleground of perceptions\, we find ourselves entrenched in divisive narratives\, trapped within the confines of “Us-Against-Them” mentalities dictated by narratives that grip us relentlessly\, rendering us blind to alternatives. To transcend this perceptual stranglehold and cultivate a new mode of communal existence\, we embark on a journey of physical engagement and shared activities\, from the humble handshake to more elaborate exercises\, forging connections beyond the constraints of perception’s sway.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence\, Elections\, and the Future of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:From algorithmic news feeds to deep fakes\, AI is poised to transform people’s day to day engagement with politics. On a broader scale\, the role of AI in transnational election interference and surveillance has led to international controversy as nations around the world struggle to respond.

SUMMARY:100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting
DESCRIPTION:Today’s headlines are filled with arguments over restrictions on the right to vote and attempts to expand it. Miles Rapoport\, formerly CT’s Secretary of State and E.J. Dionne\, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute\, advocate for making a commitment to a ‘100% Democracy’\, an election process where every citizen has the right to vote and full opportunities to do so—but also the duty to vote\, a requirement to participate in our national choices. \nJoin Rapoport and Dionne (who will be joining us virtually) for an in-person discussion about their new book\, 100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting. The program will be moderated by CT Secretary of the State\, Denise Merrill and kicks off Book Talks\, a new program series at Connecticut’s Old State House. \nThe U.S. lags behind other democracies\, with only 66.8% of eligible voters participating in the record-turnout election of 2020 while twenty-six countries around the world require participation in elections. Australia\, for instance\, has required citizens to cast a ballot since 1924 and had over 90% voter turnout in their last major election. Rapoport and Dionne ask: if Americans must pay taxes and serve on juries\, why not ask—or require—every American to vote? Is it time for the United States to take a major leap forward and recognize voting as both a fundamental civil right and a solemn civic duty? \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.
