May 2, 2025
In The Beginning
We will explore how blame became inextricably linked with the human story.
Blame in World History
From the 27th century B.C.E., to the 20th century C.E., we will show how negative human events can be viewed from the narrow perspective of blame or the broader perspective of complexity.
The Psychology of Blame
We will discuss how blame is a maladaptive way of looking at the world and often leads to negative consequences, as well as steps towards a cure.
