Crisis in Perception

How to Have Impossible Conversations — The System Behind Polarized Dialogue


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores How to Have Impossible Conversations by Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay as a systems-level analysis of how communication structures shape belief defense and ideological polarization.

Rather than focusing on persuasion techniques alone, the episode examines how conversational incentives influence whether people become more defensive or more reflective when their beliefs are challenged.
