Really enjoyed the conversation with Sam Pratt.
I recently had the chance to go on the Outrage Overload Podcast (@outrageoverload.net) with David Beckemeyer. We discussed the psychology of morality, the role of victimhood in political conflict, and how we might lower the temperature on society's biggest divides. Link in the comments!
