YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAre we getting worse at disagreeing, or just too scared to try?
Jenara Nerenberg is a Harvard-educated author, journalist, and founder of The Neurodiversity Project. Her new book “Trust Your Mind” explores the psychology of self-silencing, how groupthink distorts truth, and why people are losing confidence in their own perceptions.
In this episode of Uncomfortable Conversations, Josh and Jenara unpack the tension between free speech and free thought, why nuance is in decline, and how neurodivergent minds can offer a way out of our cultural impasse.
They cover:
– Why we stop ourselves from speaking
– How social media fuels collective conformity
– The neuroscience of disagreement
– Neurodiversity, sensitivity & intuition in modern culture
– Whether “free speech” is really under threat
