SUMMARY:🎩🔍 An Honest Liar - when does deception become fraud?
DESCRIPTION:Documentary discussion - watch beforehand\, no screening.\n\nWh
 at this is\n\nA documentary about James Randi\, stage illusion\, skepticis
 m\, fraud\, and the weird human hunger to believe. Randi spent his life ar
 ound deception\, but not all deception is the same. A magic trick can be h
 onest because everyone knows there is a trick. Fraud is something else: de
 ception pretending to be truth. That is where this gets interesting. We’
 ll talk about illusion\, belief\, charisma\, skepticism\, and the uncomfor
 table question of why people often want to be fooled.\n\nA few questions f
 or the room\n\n• “When is deception harmless\, and when does it become
  exploitation?”\n• “Why do intelligent people still fall for obvious
  fraud?”\n• “Can skepticism become its own kind of performance?”\n
 \nWatching\n\nWatch the documentary beforehand. No screening at the event.
