#052: Yesterday’s Trolls & The Spoiled Society - with Dr Robin Hornstein PhD
*Today with the magnificent Dr Robin Hornstein we talk about how to have a conversation with someone who stands in complete opposition to your beliefs and how to lead with curiosity, not judgement. She comes out with excellent and valuable insights!
We cover:
• How we’re all justified in our mind to believe what we believe. We didn’t get there for no reason, we have history, proof or trauma that makes us convinced - for better or worse.
• Why do people only want others to co-sign on their opinions, and not what will challenge it.
• When genuine, good movements, get taken over by people with bad intent.
• Cognitive dissonance and symptoms of emotional abuse from 2020.
• Identity politics: How to have a conversation with someone who stands in complete opposition to our beliefs and how to lead with curiosity, not judgement.
• To enter a debate and how-to counter productively by removing emotions.
• The coddled and validated society is causing a lot of damage and hurt in today’s society.
• Why it’s not ok for trolling behaviour, masking behind any movement, to be tolerated.
• Should we be embarrassed by our partners' political views in public?
• How certain communities have been more unfairly hit by 2020 (pandemic, job losses and more).
