If you don't already know, I'm participating in the National Podcast Post Month, otherwise known as Na Pod Po Mo. Part of that podcast promotion includes a mega feed of other podcasters. Today, I was finally able to jump into the mega feed of the National Podcast Post Month and I found an amazing little tidbit by a gentleman named David Beckemeyer. I will put the link to his episode I listened to in the show notes. His podcast is 'Outrage Science Bites,' and today's episode was about extremism and outrage, how outrage leads to radicalization. It's coming from the scientific perspective of how our emotions can impact our ability to see clearly and how to then deal with that carefully so that you don't end up in a more radical scenario than you might be already. This lines up with the things I've been speaking about, but maybe in a slightly different way. I really liked how his episode discussed how black and white thinking and an us versus them mentality can lead to additional radicalization of our thoughts versus the better, and I will call it healthier, reaction to listen to each other and to hold space for each other no matter what our ideological perspective is. Especially those who may hold different beliefs or hold their beliefs differently than us. The more we listen and open ourselves up to those, not that it means that we're going to change our beliefs, because that's not necessarily what it's about. It's about being able to understand how multiple people hold different beliefs and us being able to take the best of what we might view in someone else's beliefs and integrate it into our own after using critical thinking about our own beliefs, where we are with our beliefs, where they are with their beliefs, and how we can maybe come together to live differently all the way around. That's my quick bite for today. For one, check out National Podcast Post Month, otherwise known as Na Pod Po Mo, and look at the mega feed. I'll put the link to the mega feed and the link to David's podcast in the show notes. I look forward to speaking to you tomorrow.
