mostra másPolitical division has skyrocketed over the past decade, affecting relationships and communities on a profound level. From my own experience of engaging in online political squabbles to launching this podcast, we explore how events like the election of Donald Trump have intensified societal rifts. David sheds light on the cognitive science behind identity politics, explaining why we so vehemently defend our beliefs and how this tribal mentality disrupts rational discourse. Together, we discuss the need for empathy and understanding to bridge these divides.
We also delve into the historical and social factors that have fueled this polarization, tracing back to the 1950s and 60s when political parties began to clearly differentiate themselves. The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 and the rise of partisan media further exacerbated these divides, creating echo chambers that amplify our biases. David and I offer strategies for fostering civil discourse, like deep canvassing and critical thinking, emphasizing the importance of genuine listening and trust-building in today's fragmented world. Don't miss this enlightening conversation that aims to make political discussions more constructive and less confrontational.Support the Show.Website: www.DiscerningTheUnknown.com
