Why is America more divided than ever—across politics, culture, and every major issue?In this thought-provoking conversation, Columbia University Professor Peter T. Coleman—a global expert on conflict resolution—joins me to unpack the deep drivers of political and cultural polarisation, from the media’s addiction to outrage to the psychological traps that keep us locked in “us vs them” thinking.We explore how division is escalating globally—highlighted by events like the recent LA riots—and how the same dynamics we saw during COVID-19 are now fuelling conflict across society.But more importantly: how do we fix it? Peter shares powerful insights from his groundbreaking work, offering practical ways to break through toxic polarisation and rebuild bridges in even the most fractured communities.If you care about the future of freedom, democracy, and civil society—you won’t want to miss this conversation.#Polarization #AmericaDivided #PeterTColeman #LAriots #CultureWar #PoliticalDivision #MediaOutrage #CriticalThinking #ThinkingSociety #DanAstinGregoryPodcast
