ReThinking: Why are people acting like everything’s fine? with Rahaf Harfoush

18 november 2025 · 42 min
The Ku Klux Klan is one of the tightest-knit White supremacist groups in America—once someone joins, they’re usually in for life.

They discuss techniques for challenging ignorance and prejudice, analyze the cognitive dissonance experienced by members of extremist groups, and reflect on the conversations with Daryl that helped Jeff think again. They also explore the limits of empathy and curiosity. Lees meer

13 mei 2025 · 25 min
In the age of social media and influencers, we’re constantly pushed to think of ourselves as brands—shiny packages containing all of our best traits to market to employers and followers.
