How We All Can Reevaluate and Refine Our Political Beliefs w/ Lisa Ekman | Politics with Paul #62
Being willing to reexamine, let alone change, our political beliefs can be a monumental task, but there is immense value in introspection. My guest today, Lisa Ekman, went through such a journey of questioning her beliefs. Listen in as Lisa shares insights as to why some people find it difficult to reevaluate their views, how that introspection impacted her relationships, critical thinking tips that anybody can use regardless of their political beliefs, and more.
Key Points
- Reevaluating personal beliefs is challenging but crucial for political and social discourse.
- Both the left and right should challenge assumptions about the infallibility of experts and the inherent goodness or badness of government programs.
- Engaging with and critically analyzing opposing viewpoints can strengthen one's understanding and arguments.
