The Psychology of Comic Con

I've covered the good, bad, and ugly psychology of Comic Con before, but for this year's Comic Con I wanted to do something different for THE PSYCH SHOW. So here's a video celebrating the psychology of San Diego Comic Con brought to you by the awesome people who attend it.

Best of the Psychology of Star Trek VS. Star Wars

It's San Diego Comic Con week! THE PSYCH SHOW celebrates by looking back at the best moments from the Psychology of Star Trek VS. Star Wars Comic Con panel series. Watch Dr. Andrea Letamendi and I debate Data VS. C3PO, explore failure and regret, discuss love in the final frontier and a galaxy far far away, and breakdown the psychology of the Federation and Galactic Empire.

Thank you to Brian Ward for moderating and our panelists for being so awesome:

Be sure to check out Episode V of our panel later this week at Comic Con!

Crazy Sexy Geeks: Artificial Intelligence

Crazy Sexy Geeks - Artificial Intelligence

My buddy Alan Kistler, the New York Times bestselling author behind Doctor Who: A History, just relaunched his podcast Crazy Sexy Geeks and asked me to join him for a discussion on artificial intelligence. From the ancient Greeks to Blade Runner and Avengers: Age of Ultron, we explore what would happen if machines came to life and why these stories resonate with us.
