This episode of The Slog Pod delves into the pervasive distrust in media, science, and government, examining the causes and consequences of binary thinking. The hosts discuss the tendency to view systems as entirely corrupt or entirely trustworthy and emphasize the importance of embracing complexity and ambiguity. They encourage critical thinking and engagement with local systems, rather than falling into nihilism or apathy. Through examples from public health, media biases, and government distrust, including personal experiences from the veteran community, the episode advocates for a balanced approach: critiquing flawed systems while still using them and striving for reform and improvement. #Distrust #Polarization #PolarizedThought #FindingBalance #MentalHealth #WorkplaceMentalHealth [email protected]
