Truth Hurts: From Conflict to Connection, with Dr Julia Ebner

Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. Have you ever clashed with someone on social media or even a loved one? Conversations can easily escalate in a time where everyone is consuming different media with wildly different messaging. Today's episode is the recording from our recent live event.
