workshop: Hacking Behavioral Economics

Practical Tools for Do-Gooders

Brain

We will examine through discussion, activities, and break-out groups:
1) How to be more aware that you are being hacked.
2) How to accept that you are still a victim of your biology.
3) How to use behavioral economic hacks for good.

We are an intelligent advanced species. We are also, not.
Most of our thinking and decision-making happens in the less sophisticated part of our brains. This causes all sorts of ridiculous, amusing, and horrifying behavior.
We will examine through discussion, activities, and break out groups how deep this goes.
1) How to be more aware that you are being mentally hacked.
2) How to accept that you are (like the rest of us) still a victim of your biology.
3) How to use behavioral economic hacks for good.
This workshop is a practical application of behavioral economics for Activists and those that wish to align themselves more with their core values. The emphasis is efficient, pragmatic, and brutally honest activism instead of feel-good bonding and optimistic activism. You will be shown a collection of powerful tools that are often used for evil but should be used for good.
