Part of what’s terrible sometimes is how easy it is for people to hate each other. And how hard it is for people to TALK to each other in meaningful ways when we disagree. And while it’s certainly not a phenomenon that’s brand NEW, the Internet has certainly made it easier for us to voice our dislike for people in ways that are… not always helpful or productive?

Dylan Marron is the author of the book Conversations With People Who Hate Me, and in today’s episode, Nora talks with him about why we are how we are, and how we could change.
