The Romance of Ruin: Why Are We So Obsessed With Watching Civilizations — and Relationships — Fall Apart?

From dystopian fiction to reality TV breakups, audiences can't look away from collapse. Dr. Jonathan Gottschall, Dr. Elizabeth Currid-Halkett, and Dr. Neil Postman examine why we're so drawn to watching civilizations — and relationships — fall apart, and whether that fascination helps us cope or just distracts us from fixing what's actually broken.

The Currency of Attention Spans: Are We Training Children to Think in Fifteen-Second Bursts?

The average attention span reportedly dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8.25 seconds by 2015 — shorter, allegedly, than a goldfish's.

The Politics of Comfort: Has the Pursuit of Convenience Made Us a Weaker Species?
