Welcome back to the show notes for Applied Curiosity Lab Radio. This week we chomp on a Curiosity Bite that deals with the controversial topics of social justice, trigger warnings, safe spaces, and the truth.

When truth is at odds with social justice, which would you choose?

How do we deal with the truth when it's at odds with how we see the world (or how we want to see the world)?

Can you separate people from ideas in order to grapple with difficult ideas?

 

Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!

The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.

This week's Curiosity Bite:

If you had to choose between truth and social justice, which would you choose?

 

In this episode...Curious Questions asked and answered

How often does the way we feel about something stands in the way of understanding the truth?

Should we cite scholarship done by horrible people?
