In “The Problem with Truth,” Banu and Tony dive into the psychology behind how easily the truth can be manipulated. They offer fresh perspectives about avoidant behavior and the physiological need to “fight or flight” to feel safe. They explore how survival tactics from our primal years affect our attitude and behaviors in modern society. Their discussion offers a compassionate approach towards ideas we disagree with and analyzes the social effects of having a heightened or sensitive sympathetic nervous system.
