Host Sørina Higgins interviews Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley about the dangers of dehumanizing discourse, especially words that turn people into demons, beasts, or insects who need to be eradicated--such as in the lynching era or historical genocides. Dr. Foley points out that we live in an attention economy of rampant self interest that requires enemies to attack, which is a serious malformation of moral imagination.
