Finding Common Ground: When Persuasion Fails and Belief Takes Over

All right, before we jump in today, I think we need to name why we're doing this episode. Yeah, because this one kind of forced itself on us, right? It really did. Yeah, it it absolutely did. Last week we put out a quick episode about trying to find common ground.

And honestly, the reason that we did that was because of what happened to you. And your particular story about what you went through right after Alex Predy's murder in Minneapolis. And that just happened, what, like four blocks or so from where you live, right outside Landall Donuts? It was just a few blocks. We went down there, you know, an hour after the murder happened, and I put some posts out on Facebook.

And I I was just trying to tell this firsthand story on Facebook, talked about what I experienced, you know, what I saw, what it was actually like being in Minneapolis for the past, you know, month or so as the surge was going on, brought in my firsthand video from that day and shared it. Yeah. Yeah, and that didn't need to be controversial because it was about your experience. Yeah, it well, it might have been controversial, but it shouldn't have been dismissed as untrue, right?

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (52 minutes, 7,478 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
