Ep. 19 The Simpleminded Society: The Via Media

In the second episode of our new season, Ryan offers a critique of black and white, polarized thinking; argues that centrists and moderates are becoming more rare and more disliked in our society; and calls for mediation, bridge-building, and peacemaking.

"Thinker Sensitive is a podcast with many values. One of our central values is mediation, and this podcast will continually try to model true mediating thinking. Because our society is becoming more and more divided, polarized, radicalized, and militant, mediating thinkers—or bridge builders—are becoming more and more rare. I think we might actually be getting to the point where dialectical thinkers become disliked, shunned, and looked down upon. I think it’s already happening to a certain extent, as I have personally experienced it in various settings."
