16:35Now PlayingI asked Todd Rose a simple question about why it feels like America has become so divided, and his answer caught me off guard.
According to Todd, most of us have been fooled into believing our neighbors think very differently than they actually do. The data says otherwise. If he's right, one of the biggest problems in America today isn't disagreement—it's the illusion that we're far more divided than we really are.
Needless to say, I had a few follow-up questions. Watch this, and tell me what you think.
This is just one small piece of a much longer rabbit hole. If you're inclined to follow us down it, watch my full conversation with Todd:
