I really like how this podcast episode highlights the false consensus effect, where we overestimate agreement with others. It can harm relationships and increase societal polarization. By reflecting on past surprises and making predictions about social issues, we can counter this bias. Open communication and empathy are key to fostering understanding and harmony.
