“Politics is a mind-killer” is a great idea for an opening!
I didn’t think about it at first, Robin Hanson is interview for “Conversations from the Pale Blue Dot” (http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=1911 number 67) describes the core point very in a very short and meaningful way.
Also don’t forget to introduce the biases and give some kind of shining example of fallacy. Maybe you should have an actor in the hall, or you just go with an improvisation of course. I mean asking someone from the audience about whether Linda seems to be more a bank-teller or a bank-teller and a feminist and similar stuff. With your ‘raising awareness’ goal it would be halfway if someone says oops
Thank you for the link, I’ll look it through!
