<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “How AI Alters Thinking,”
 on dealing with artificial intelligence’s capacity to change and 
undermine our thought processes, with Eli Alshanetsky, assistant 
professor of philosophy at Temple University, principle investigator at 
its Cognitive Integrity Lab, and author of an upcoming book on AI and 
freedom of thought.
Doctors who give bad advice can be sued for malpractice. Teachers 
belong to a profession with set standards. When artificial intelligence 
guides you, however, that guidance comes with a disclaimer: Use at your 
own risk.
Every day millions of people take that risk, and usually AI seems 
genuinely helpful. But even if AI gives us good answers, might its use 
over time do bad things to how we think?
Explore the relationship between AI and our own minds with Eli 
Alshanetsky, whose Cognitive Integrity Lab studies how artificial 
intelligence changes how we think, learn, and build trust. Author of Articulating a Thought and the upcoming book Freedom of Thought in the Age of AI,
 he’s on the cutting edge of efforts to answer AI-related questions such
 as: How can we tell when work is truly our own? How can technology 
support rather than replace authorship and reflection? What does trust 
mean when AI mediates our relationships with others and with our own 
thoughts?
To set up his discussion of potential consequences of AI, he’ll 
describe how social media’s impact on society serves as a preview.&nbsp;
Social media didn’t just give people what they wanted to click on, it
 actually changed what they regarded as click-worthy. It broke attention
 spans and fueled radicalization across millions of very different 
people. It left us with people who doom-scroll for hours, who can’t 
focus, who don’t know what to trust anymore.&nbsp;
If you’d shown people this version of themselves ten years ago, would they have chosen it?
Artificial intelligence is making a similar deal with us, but the 
stakes are higher. It isn’t chasing clicks. It’s optimized for giving 
you the most satisfying response to whatever is on your mind right now.&nbsp;
The risk over time isn’t just that you’ll get lazy. More profoundly, 
even when you think hard, your sense of what counts as good thinking—as 
well as what sounds like you—will shift to match what AI has been 
feeding you.
We’ll consider what kind of person this produces and whether this is 
someone we want to be or want children to become. Professor Alshanetsky 
will lay out a practical framework, which he calls “the interaction 
layer,” for using AI without letting it replace the thinking it’s 
supposed to support. He’ll also talk about what AI-related concerns 
should be the focus of parents and educators. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-how-ai-alters-thinking" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Demography as Destiny,”
 on understanding the links between population trends and world events, 
with John Rennie Short, geographer, professor emeritus of public policy 
at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and author of Demography and the Making of the Modern World: Public Policies and Demographic Forces.
The size of a family doesn’t just affect food and clothing budgets 
and space needs. If it reflects a broader trend in birth rates, it also 
can have a profound impact on politics, the economy, and world affairs.
Come to Washington D.C.’s Penn Social for a fascinating look at how 
demographic forces shape the modern world and have driven developments 
such as the Arab Spring, political unrest in Sri Lanka and Nepal, 
economic growth in Vietnam and India, the budget crisis in the United 
States, and the rise of nationalist populism in Europe.
Dr. John Rennie Short, who has written several acclaimed books on 
world trends and gives excellent Profs and Pints talks focused on 
geopolitical affairs, will break down how various demographic changes 
can alter nations’ destinies.
You’ll learn how baby booms can dampen economic growth, as has 
occurred in central Africa, and how a “youth bulge” caused by the aging 
of a baby boom provides tinder for social unrest, as happened in the 
United States of the 1960s and 1970s and is the case today in Nepal and 
Sri Lanka.
We’ll look at the “demographic dividend” reaped when a youth bulge 
ages enough to become economically productive and the roles that such 
dividends played in periods of sustained economic growth in Japan, 
China, and, most recently, Vietnam. We’ll look at how the aging of a 
demographic bulge into retirement years can strain national budgets and 
strengthen the appeal of conservative or populist political movements.
You’ll emerge from the talk better equipped to make sense of 
political and economic developments in the United States and elsewhere 
around the world. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-demography-destiny" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Popes and Politics,”
 on the history of clashes between pontiffs and world leaders, with 
Vanessa Corcoran, medieval historian at Georgetown University and 
scholar of the history of the Roman Catholic church.
President Trump recently shocked many by unleashing personal attacks 
on Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, in a post on the Truth 
Social platform. Trump has been widely criticized by religious leaders 
for these remarks, made in response to the pontiff’s advocacy of peace 
with the U.S and Israel at war with Iran, and for his separate posts of 
AI-generated images depicting himself as a pope and as Jesus. For his 
part, Pope Leo has told journalists, “I am not afraid of the Trump 
administration,” and has found himself at the center of a heated debate 
over the proper role of any pope when it comes to commenting on global 
politics.
As unsettling as such developments might be to Roman Catholics, 
they’re hardly unprecedented. Disagreements between popes and world 
leaders go back to the Middle Ages, and have played a significant role 
in shaping the Church and its role in the world.
Explore the long history of popes’ conflicts with politicians with 
Vanessa Corcoran, a historian of the Roman Catholic Church who 
previously has given excellent talks on papal conclaves and the 
evolution of nativity scenes.
She’ll discuss fascinating developments such as the fourteenth 
century Avignon Papacy, when Philip IV of France got the upper hand in a
 feud with the Church by pressuring a papal conclave to select a French 
pope and then getting the church’s leadership relocated from Rome to 
Avignon for nearly 70 years.
In drawing parallels between recent events and medieval attacks on 
the Church’s authority she’ll describe how today’s anti-Church memes 
echo the anti-pope and anti-Catholic images that Martin Luther 
disseminated in large numbers with the help of woodcut printing.
We’ll look at tensions between past presidents and past popes over 
not just wars, but issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and 
abortion access. The talk will leave you with a deeper appreciation of 
the inherent tensions between politics and matters of faith. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-popes-politics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Artemis II and Beyond,”
 on how the recent space mission fits into long-term plans for the Moon,
 with Michael J. Neufeld, retired senior curator for the Space History 
Department of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
NASA’s recent, spectacular Artemis II mission is a sign that the 
United States is serious about sending humans to the Moon again.
Gain an understanding of how Artemis II fits in both past and planned
 lunar missions with historian Michael Neufeld, who was lead curator of 
the Smithsonian’s Destination Moon exhibit. He has taught at Johns 
Hopkins, Colgate, and other universities, and is the author or editor of
 nine books dealing with the history of technology.
He’ll start by looking at the aftermath of the Apollo program of a 
half century ago and why it ended only four years after its first lunar 
mission. He’ll consider why no lasting lunar programs emerged from major
 announcements by two presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, 
that astronauts would be going back to the Moon and on to Mars.
His vividly illustrated lecture will then explore how Artemis is a 
product of a human spaceflight program that has changed dramatically 
over the past 50 years. We’ll look at how collaboration with Europe, 
Canada and Japan became integral to the shuttle and International Space 
Station programs, and how the rise of rise of new commercial space 
companies such as SpaceX has enabled NASA to buy both space services and
 space craft.
Both international and commercial partners are involved in the latest
 Moon efforts, with SpaceX and Blue Origin expected to supply the 
landers to take astronauts down to a planned base on the Moon’s South 
Pole. How soon will any of this happen? Probably not as quickly as NASA 
says, but the specter of a Chinese landing on the Moon by 2030 is one 
obvious reason to keep things moving along.
We’ll look at the sustainability of the Artemis space program for at 
least the next decade or so. You’ll emerge from the talk with no doubt 
that exciting days are ahead for space fans. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-artemis-ii-and-beyond" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Horror as Queer,”
 a look at the influence and depiction of queerness in horror films, 
with May Santiago, adjunct professor of film studies at George Mason 
University and producer of the podcast Horrorspiria.
Horror was queer long before both Brad and Janet succumbed to the charms of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
 In fact, one could make the argument that, for both better and worse, 
the history of horror films is the history of queers on film. Film 
scholar May Santiago will do just that, with plenty of vivid examples, 
in reprising a talk that has earned rave reviews.
You’ll learn how queer auteurs such as F.W. Murnau and James Whale 
were there at the very beginning. Murnau played a central role in the 
German expressionist movement that gave rise to films such as Nosferatu, while Whale left a body of work full of queer codes, including the films Frankenstein, The Old Dark House, and The Invisible Man.
From there, Santiago will discuss how the representational codes 
established by such queer filmmakers were appropriated throughout the 
celluloid century by non-queer authors who constructed cinematic horror 
language that used queerness as shorthand for the monstrous. The result 
was harmful stereotypes of queer people in films and society, with 
examples being the stoic psycho lesbian trope embodied by Mrs. Danvers 
in Rebecca, the transgender sex-obsessed serial murderer Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, and the villains of Dressed to Kill and Silence of the Lambs.
Yet, even with these negative portrayals of explicit or implicit 
queerness, horror cinema’s relationship with queerness and queer 
audiences has grown stronger with each passing decade, with queer 
authors and queer audiences reclaiming the monstrosity that created the 
basis of the horror genre. Santiago will look at how the evolution of 
horror films coincided with that of queer stereotypes and how queer 
authors embedded queerness in films that aren’t explicitly queer. Among 
the questions she’ll tackle: How did we come around to thinking that the
 Babadook was gay? (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-horror-queer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and
