Episode Summary
In this episode, I discuss how online trolling and "Schadenfreude" are driving us deeper into ideological bubbles, using a viral Reddit post about a fake ICE tip hotline as a case study. I explore why mocking others' reasoning, even when we find it harmful, often backfires by destroying the trust necessary for genuine persuasion. Should we really celebrate when leopards eat faces?
