Episode 271: Turn the other cheek
Summary
To celebrate Christmas, let’s take a closer look at one of Jesus’s teachings: the admonition to turn the other cheek. This teaching has been interpreted in many ways over the ages, and I’m going to offer another one. It’s one that, I believe, accord very nicely with a nuanced understanding of human psychology. In this episode, I explain how turning the other cheek functionally places aggression on an extinction protocol by divesting aggression of its reinforcement mechanism.
