Manage episode 483124125 series 2786493
LSE’s Paul Dolan reveals how we can stop hating the people we disagree with, and how we can foster a more tolerant society.
We like to think that we’re tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own – even if they might have something useful to contribute to the debate. We’re all falling victim to what Professor Paul Dolan defines as beliefism. Now Paul joins us to reveal the importance of exposing ourselves to diverging opinions, and how we can lean into difference and create environments that are conducive to listening to one another. Well-functioning societies need and celebrate difference; Paul reveals how we can foster a more tolerant society.
