Boghossian, a renowned philosopher and author, kicked off the event with a brief speech on the importance of open dialogue in today's polarized society. Boghossian emphasized the need to engage in conversations with people who hold opposing views, instead of retreating into echo chambers that reinforce our own beliefs. He shared his practical tips on how to navigate difficult conversations without getting defensive or resorting to ad hominem attacks.
After the speech, the event turned interactive as the audience participated in a dialogue-fostering exercise, where they practiced the techniques Boghossian had outlined. Attendees gained valuable insights on how to approach challenging conversations with empathy and respect, even when facing disagreement.
"How to have Impossible Conversations" offered a practical guide for individuals seeking to improve their communication skills and foster meaningful dialogues across ideological divides.
