Every culture has identity-forming narratives that are long and dearly held. The truths conveyed in these metanarratives become almost sacred to us and when others counter the accepted truths of these stories or push back on them, we can become deeply passionate or angry without ever fully understanding why. This can influence why we hold such different views of the innocence of our country, the role of the police, and many other deeply relevant cultural dynamics. This is one of the most important topics when it comes to cultural division and how to hear and understand one another better, so you won't want to miss this episode.
