"Everything that you see in politics is based on a zero-sum frame of reality," David Gornoski says. He points out how politicians rely on you to vote them into defeating your enemies without actually dealing with any of the core issues. "Excellence doesn't require a savior; it requires skin in the game."

How can we see the good in an environment of discord and unrest? The key is to emulate Jesus, David says. Listen to the full episode for David Gornoski's deconstruction of the political game of attraction and repulsion and more.
