"Just the Facts Ma’am” featuring Dan Ariely, PhD

Professor Dan Ariely, researcher in Behavioral Economics, whose TED talks have been seen by 27 million, weighs in on his latest book release MISBELIEF: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things, as host performance artist/broken neck survivor Sally Greenhouse struggles to explore the current political & psychological resonance for those with acquired physical disabilities during the Covid era, after viewing his short video online."When is Life Worth Living?"Inspired by Ariely's life experience as a burn patient, surviving an explosion, combined with his  unique research focus, television show "The Irrational" starring Jesse Martin is in its second season on NBC.NOTE: “Just the facts ma’am”  was the catchphrase attributed to the lead character, Joe Friday, of the popular 1950’s-1960’s crime television show, DRAGNET, meant to instruct a person being interviewed to state exactly what happened, without embellishment or exaggeration. Ironically, while it is remembered as the precise line, it was never spoken in this way, as subsequent versions, including satires, have demonstrated.
