Yeah, I know. You start out thinkin&#8217; but it quickly segues into a carnival of chaotic and libidinous thoughts! But this special event will definitely give you pause while you enjoy a drink or two from The Casual Animal Brewing Company in Kansas City. Read on.<\/h4>\n<h4>The Casual Animal Brewing Company was founded by Kyle and Lara Gray. Their goal is to create a &#8220;third place&#8221; for the Kansas City community\u2014an unplugged, in-person environment where curiosity is celebrated and attention is undivided. This ongoing lecture series delivers a wide array of topics that generate fresh perspectives, ideas, and discussion. These community-driven events are powered by a collaboration between UMKC, Linda Hall Library, The Third Place Historian, New Colossus Advisors, and Casual Animal Brewing Company and they are called Think &amp; Drink Events. Their next event is on Friday, February 5th and it&#8217;s called &#8220;Pimps &amp; Preachers: The Misconception of Empathy and its Power.&#8221; The speaker is Dr. Nicole Price, Founder &#8211; Lively Paradox. She will discuss the at times complex aspects of feeling someone&#8217;s pain. Is empathy about feeling someone\u2019s pain \u2014 or understanding their perspective or does it depends on who\u2019s using it\u2026 and why? In this bold, no-holds-barred session, Dr. Price unpacks the two core types of empathy: affective empathy (feeling with others) and cognitive empathy\u2014 what hostage negotiators call tactical empathy (understanding others to influence outcomes). One connects hearts. The other shifts behavior.<\/h4>\n<h4>This is going to be a fascinating and inciteful discussion. Even better, the event is free but you must RSVP to attend. Click on the link and select Events to reserve a spot.<\/h4>\n<h4>Afterwards we can give some thought about dinner for those so inclined. This is going to be a intellectually stimulating and enjoyable event! All good for the pink matter sloshing around in our collective craniums.
