In this week’s episode we discuss the section in Bamidbar about the spies who were sent by Moshe to observe the land of Canaan before the Israelites go in to inhabit it. We talk about how the report they bring back emphasizes both the impossibly large fruit but also the seeming impossible task of confronting the giants who live there, and how the negative narrative proves the much stronger message. We talk about how this negativity bias remains in human society today, and how revisiting this story can help us remember to believe in the strength and ingenuity of human communities to fight climate change.
