Frank Schaeffer sits down with Dr. Barbara Oakley, bestselling author, engineer, and neuroscience educator, to explore how censorship literally rewires our brains, why open dialogue is essential for democracy, and how today’s “constructivist” education model may be quietly lowering global IQs.
Barbara, a U.S. Army vet turned professor, breaks down the neural cost of ideological rigidity — and the scientific case for teaching kids (and adults) how to think freely.
From her viral Wall Street Journal essay “Censorship Hurts Our Brains — Literally” to her critique of modern education fads, Barbara offers a mind-expanding conversation on how free speech keeps societies flexible.
