 In the bustling marketplace of ideas, distinguishing truth from misinformation requires a nuanced approach that combines critical thinking, evidence-based analysis, and an openness to diverse perspectives. Engaging in conversations with individuals holding differing mindsets is crucial in this process. Interacting with a variety of opinions fosters a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues and challenges one's assumptions. Constructive dialogue not only exposes individuals to alt...

Time For A Depolarization "Manhattan Project"? DTH Episode 192 with Guest host Julian Adorney and Daniel F. Stone

January 03, 2024 10:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

Time For A Depolarization "Manhattan Project"? In a conversation I was having with friend John Wood Jr.  of Braver Angels, he said and I often quote, "Polarization is the one problem that ensures all other problems won't be solved". Many, me being one of them, have said that polarization could realistically be a true existential threat to our great country. Why then do more politicians not take more seriously this threat and work toward solutions? I have my thoughts on that and speak of the...

Can Christians and Atheists Get Along? DTH Episode 190 guest host Julian Adorney and Angel Eduardo

December 20, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 44.5 MB

Can Christians and Atheists Get Along? Christians and Atheists often face roadblocks in understanding and accepting each other due to deeply ingrained differences in belief systems. One major obstacle is the perception of morality and purpose. Christians may view their faith as the ultimate source of moral guidance and purpose, while Atheists often derive their morality from secular humanism and find purpose in life without relying on religious frameworks. This is among many fundamental dif...

Getting Below The Surface of Toxic Polarization... DTH Episode 189 with guest host Julian Adorney & Mark Johnson

December 13, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MB

Getting Below The Surface of Toxic Polarization Human evolution in perspectives is a dynamic process shaped by experiences, education, and self-reflection. Individuals often display a tendency to forgive themselves swiftly for past views and mistakes, while adopting a less forgiving stance towards others. This discrepancy in standards suggests a complex interplay of ego, empathy, and self-awareness. It underscores the challenge of extending the same compassion to others that one grants ones...

DEI vs. Diversity of Thought... Replay of DTH Bonus Episode with Dr. Tabia Lee

December 06, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MB

DEI vs. Diversity of Thought I recently read an article in the Free Black Thought substack written by my friend Dr. Tabia Lee entitled: DEI COLLEAGUES: YOUR ANTI-SEMITISM IS SHOWING. With recent events being what they are in the middle east, and the ensuing hate mongering that is taking place world-wide, the article stood out instantly.  You might remember Dr. Tabia Lee from our DTH conversation back in March of this year soon after she was stripped of her position as Faculty Director for th...

Thanksgiving, a Time For Gratitude... Replay of DTH Classic Episode 53

November 22, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

Thanksgiving, a Time For Gratitude Thanksgiving serves as a poignant reminder that gratitude should not be confined to a single day but embraced every day. This special occasion, however, magnifies the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the blessings in our lives. Beyond the festive feast and familial gatherings, Thanksgiving cultivates a spirit of thankfulness that ideally extends into our daily routines. It prompts reflection on the multitude of reasons to be grateful, encouragi...

Speaking with The Younger You... DTH Episode 186 with Jeff Schoep and Henry Paniccia

November 15, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

Speaking with The Younger You Have you ever imagined engaging in a conversation with your younger, more naive, and possibly even a more hateful self? Imagine finding yourself grappling with the echoes of your past ignorance. The earlier version of you, fueled by limited experiences and misguided perspectives, expressing opinions that now seem cringe-worthy and uninformed. In an attempt to bridge the gap between your present self and that version, you realize the importance of growth and und...

I Never Thought of it That Way, To A Braver Way... DTH Episode 185 includes classic conversation with Mónica Guzmán

November 02, 2023 02:00 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MB

Have you ever wondered how to have a meaningful conversation with someone with whom you disagree vehemently on a particular topic? Do you have family members that you disagree with politically, and cannot have a conversation without things becoming heated and toxic? What if there were a book that could teach you "How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times"? There is, and this week I am honored to have the author of that book on the Derate the Hate podcast to ta...

If Your Life Sucks, It's Your Fault, Change It... DTH Episode 184 with Nico Lagan

October 26, 2023 01:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

If Your Life Sucks, It's Your Fault, Change It Masculinity, in and of itself, is not toxic; it is a complex and multifaceted aspect of identity. However, men are undeniably influenced by the role models they look up to while growing up. If they choose toxic individuals as mentors, they may inadvertently follow a path of toxicity. The key to positive masculinity lies in fostering purpose and a sense of meaning in one's life. When men have a clear sense of purpose, they are more likely to mak...

Nonviolence and a Needed Revival of Humanity and Moral Clarity... DTH Episode 183 with Harry Boyte and Marie Ström

October 18, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MB

Nonviolence and a Needed Revival of Humanity and Moral Clarity  Learning not to hate those with whom we disagree is a profound lesson in cultivating empathy and understanding. Often, violence and hate stem from a sense of feeling devalued or misunderstood. Embracing the idea that everyone's perspective is shaped by unique experiences can foster compassion and bridge the gaps that divide us. In the Christian faith, there is a powerful call to love one's neighbor and even one's enemies. This ...

Barbarism Fueled By An Ideology of Hatred... Bonus Episode on the Terror Attacks in Israel with Moshe K. Levy

October 12, 2023 09:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

Barbarism Fueled By An Ideology of Hatred What drives someone to commit the most evil acts imaginable by another human being? People are not born inherently evil, just like they are not born inherently good. Both are learned behaviors.  Why then are some taught to hate others, to a point at which they would commit the unspeakable acts that have shocked the world in recent days,  as the Jewish State of Israel was so brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists? For this bonus conversation, I've invi...

Overcoming Anger Through The Languages of Love... DTH Episode 182 with Paul Zolman

October 11, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 28.2 MB

Overcoming Anger Through The Languages of Love  Love is the emotional cornerstone that enriches and gives meaning to our lives, transcending barriers and fostering a profound connection with others. It holds the transformative power to dismantle the walls we build around ourselves, allowing genuine human connections to flourish. When we embrace love, we decrease the intensity of anger and resentment, replacing them with understanding and compassion. Opening ourselves to love means exposing ...

The "Doom Loop" of Polarization... DTH Episode 181 with Timothy J. Redmond

October 04, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

The "Doom Loop" of Polarization  Political beliefs are often shaped by party affiliations rather than the other way around, contributing to the phenomenon of political tribalism. Individuals align themselves with a particular political party, and in doing so, adopt the party's established set of beliefs and ideologies. This process is not always driven by a deep examination of personal values but rather a desire for belonging and identity within a group. As a result, people may conform to ...

Building Bridges Through Faith, Good Will and Conversations... DTH Episode 180 with Rev. B. Keith Haney

September 27, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MB

Building Bridges Through Faith, Good Will and Conversations Envy and coveting what others have can lead to a range of personal and societal problems. On an individual level, these emotions can breed discontent, erode self-esteem, and foster negative comparisons. I’ve seen so often how this can result in unhappiness and a constant sense of inadequacy. At a societal level, envy often contributes to a culture of competition and materialism, driving people to prioritize material possessions over...

The Trans Community IS NOT A Monolith... DTH Episode 179 with Zander Keig

September 20, 2023 09:00 - 54 minutes - 37.1 MB

The Trans Community IS NOT A Monolith Assuming that groups of people think as a monolith is a simplistic and often harmful mindset. It oversimplifies the rich diversity of perspectives and experiences within any given group, ignoring individual differences and perpetuating stereotypes. People are shaped by a multitude of factors, including their upbringing, culture, personal experiences, and beliefs, which can lead to a wide range of opinions and viewpoints even within the same demographic...

A Physician’s Front-Line Account Of The Covid Pandemic... DTH Episode 178 with Dr. Ravi Iyer

September 13, 2023 09:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MB

A Physician’s Front-Line Account Of The Covid Pandemic “The public health policy’s connection with the health of a society is only peripheral, the real impact of public health is that it determines how everyone lives and conducts business. If you do not have a good, effective public health structure, you simply cannot exist as an individual or a society.” So many of us experienced the Covid pandemic in different ways, but some had it far worse than others. The many deaths caused by the viru...

Exploring Civility: A Weakness Or Bold Necessity? DTH Episode 177 with Julian Adorney & Angel Eduardo

September 06, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MB

Exploring Civility: A Weakness Or Bold Necessity? I find it interesting that some, when presented with the idea of confronting those of differing mindsets with curiosity rather than hostility, accuse those seeking civility of somehow being weak or cowardly. As someone who used to do my share of spreading toxicity, I can understand how this can happen. When someone "attacks" what we feel passionate about, it is almost human nature to "attack back". What if I were to tell you that "attacking ...

Will Generation Z Be Our Open Minded Hopeful Majority? DTH Episode 176 with Manu Meel

August 30, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MB

Will Generation Z Be Our Open Minded Hopeful Majority? When a generation is consistently taught that tribalism trumps unity, a divisive mindset takes root. Generation Z is a such a group, raised amid boundless digital information, confronts a paradox: being told unity is unattainable through open dialogue and curious conversations. Consequently, their perspectives narrow, hindering cooperation and understanding. Yet, this situation also presents an opportunity to harness a personal connectiv...

Truth Is The Resolution To Irrationality... DTH Episode 175 with Travis Tripodi

August 23, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MB

Truth Is The Resolution To Irrationality The suppression of truth can have profound consequences, often leading to irrational behavior among individuals and societies. When information is deliberately withheld or manipulated, it distorts people's understanding of reality, creating a skewed perspective that can foster fear, ignorance, and mistrust. Without access to accurate information, individuals might make decisions based on incomplete or misleading data, resulting in actions that are dis...

Humility & Free Speech Are Fundamental Prerequisites For Trust In Science... DTH Episode 174 with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya

August 16, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MB

Humility & Free Speech Are Fundamental Prerequisites For Trust In Science If you have been following me from the beginning, you know I've been outspoken in opposition to much of the government's response to the pandemic since very early in 2020. But not unlike a tree falling in a forest when there is nobody there to hear it, guys like me in 2020 were seldom heard, especially when it came to our thoughts on the pandemic. Fast forward a couple years and I've been blessed to have conversations...

Acknowledgement Is Needed To Confront The Stains Of Our Past... DTH Episode 173 with Starlette Thomas

August 09, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MB

Acknowledgement Is Needed To Confront The Stains Of Our Past The power to transform the world lies within the choices we make when wielding our words. It is imperative that we redefine the way we express ourselves, both in speaking of ourselves and of others. Conflicts will arise, but it is essential to recognize that among our disagreements and disputes, a fundamental truth prevails – we are bound together as one human family. True reality begins in the way we choose to engage those with w...

A Hunger For Healing That Gives Us Hope... DTH Episode 172 with Brian Allain

August 02, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MB

A Hunger For Healing That Gives Us Hope It may be lost on many who spend all their time navigating the toxicity of the internet ecosystem, but there is a deep hunger for civic renewal and a return to civility in public discourse. As hardworking individuals in the exhausted middle, who often feel overlooked or caught in the crossfire of partisan battles, many yearn for a political landscape that prioritizes practical solutions over ideological grandstanding. Our concerns lie in the everyday ...

Are Conservatives The Biggest Challenge The LGB Community Faces? DTH Episode 171 with Eva Kurilova

July 26, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

Are Conservatives The Biggest Challenge The LGB Community Faces? It's not often you see the letters LGB these days without the rest of the characters. What was once a movement of same-sex attracted persons, traditionally known as Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, has become something many from that original movement find hard to recognize, let alone agree with. One thing I will continue to emphasize on this podcast though is that disagreement does not constitute HATE. There are many facets to a movem...

How Looking Through An Us-vs-Them Lens Leads To More Animosity & Anger... DTH Episode 170 with Zachary Elwood

July 19, 2023 10:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MB

How Looking Through An Us-vs-Them Lens Leads To More Animosity & Anger  So much of the work I do in the depolarization space leads me to great people of all mindsets. It's not that we have to agree, we just have to find a way to disagree in a more civil way. In today's hyper-connected world, where social media platforms amplify our differences and echo chambers abound, it has become increasingly crucial to cultivate a culture of respectful dialogue and understanding. So often, we lose focus...

What Is The People's Patriot Project? DTH Episode 169 with Mark Petersen & Andrea Eichmann

July 12, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MB

What is The People's Patriot Project? I am often asked where I find the drive to do this work I do with the Derate The Hate podcast, or how I find the time to do the work I do with the Braver Angels organization. It seems that I answer this in many ways because there are many reasons, but it often comes down to this; I absolutely love speaking with, and learning from, those who are trying to better the world in which we live. I want to spread the message that most of our societal ills can b...

Why The Uproar About The Latest SCOTUS Rulings? DTH Episode 168 with Christian Watson

July 05, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB

Why The Uproar About The Latest SCOTUS Rulings? There's nothing like a little Supreme Court action these days to get the masses all riled up. In these polarized and divisive times, would you expect any less. While approximately 70% of the American public believes that race should not play a part in college admissions, many on social and within the main stream media would have you believe that an "illegitimate court" is setting the clocks back to the colonial days. I think nuances within con...

Finding Common Ground With Those Who Hold Contrary Beliefs... DTH Episode 167 with Jefferson Shupe

June 28, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MB

Finding Common Ground With Those Who Hold Contrary Beliefs Polarization and tribalism have taken hold of many parts of our public discourse today. It has been my experience that many who I once thought to be reasonable, have now placed politics over principles. How did we get here? When people place political blinders on, and quit interacting with those of differing mindsets, they often lose their ability to focus on things such as integrity, consistency and our common humanity. As my frien...

Should We Fear AI, Or Use This Tool To Live In A Better Way? DTH Episode 166 with Manuj Aggarwal

June 21, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MB

Should we fear AI, or use this tool to live in a better way? It is often those things that we know the least about that we fear the most. There has been a lot circulating in the news and political circles in recent weeks and months about “slowing the progression” of artificial intelligence technology. Is this the correct response? Are we even asking the right questions? It is a general tendency for us as humans to fear that which we don’t understand. This is not only true with people who dif...

Polarization, The Issue Of Our Time... DTH Episode 165 with John Wood Jr.

June 14, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MB

Polarization, The Issue Of Our Time People who know me, or those who have listened to the DTH podcast for long know about my great passion for depolarization. With a mission statement like “Bettering the world, one attitude at a time”, it’s easy to surmise that to better the world, we as individuals must get along with each other. I know that getting everyone to agree is unrealistic, in fact, I’d say it’s unhealthy and unproductive. I do think it’s time we all put greater effort into getting...

Giving Your Best Self By Finding Your Purpose... DTH Episode 164 with Frank Rich

June 07, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MB

Giving Your Best Self By Finding Your Purpose  When we find ourselves loving our partner more than we love ourselves, we often overlook our own worth and potential. It becomes challenging to recognize and appreciate our own strengths, as we are constantly focused on meeting the needs and expectations of our partner. However, it is crucial to remember that we cannot truly be the best version of ourselves for someone else if we neglect our own well-being and self-care. By prioritizing self-lov...

Bettering The World By Being The Change You Want To See... DTH Episode 163 with King Randall, I

May 31, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MB

Bettering The World By Being The Change You Want To See Anyone who’s listened to the DTH podcast for long has probably heard me mention the quote "be the change you want to see in the world". This carries profound meaning in relation to another topic I speak of often, the perpetual victim mentality. Too often, individuals perceive themselves as helpless victims of external circumstances, attributing their struggles solely to external forces beyond their control. What happens when one chooses...

Looking Within To Live A Courageous Life... DTH Episode 162 with Sandy Stream

May 24, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MB

Looking within to live a courageous life How do you deal with the outside when you don’t feel right on the inside? It may seem like a simple question, but have you ever asked it? Have you ever tried to solve a problem without defining what the problem is? A large part of my self-healing journey had to do with figuring out who I am and dealing with me. Most of the tools needed to live the life you were meant to live are found within you. You may not realize it, but very often it takes lookin...

Are Our Political Rivals As Bad As We Think They Are? DTH Episode 161 with Daniel F. Stone

May 17, 2023 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MB

Are Our Political Rivals As Bad As We Think They Are? For the great majority of my life I had no interest in politics. It was not until after 9/11 that I had any interest whatsoever in anything any politician had to say. The only thing about politics I was certain of was that I didn't want anything to do with politics. For many that I knew, their stories were similar. In the past decade, or decade and a half, that has steadily been changing. People across the political spectrum are becoming ...

A Mother's Legacy; Live a Life of Gratitude... DTH Episode 160 with Sammy Farrens

May 10, 2023 11:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

A Mother's Legacy; Live a Life of Gratitude I've said so many times and so many ways, life is less about what is happening to us, but how we react to it that makes the difference. Some will look at a field full of beautiful flowers and focus on the weed, while others can look over a field of weeds and pick out the one beautiful flower. How is it that one person who's been bombarded with life's challenges can be happy while others who've been given so much, struggle with misery and depression...

When Your Country Is Hijacked By Real Religious Extremists... DTH Episode 159 with Dr. Mahsa Hojat-Khoshniyat

May 03, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MB

When your country is hijacked by real religious extremists You don't have to look very far these days to find those that would rather run the United States of America down rather than be grateful for all that she has to offer. Have you ever wondered though why so many choose to emigrate from their home countries around the globe to the United States if we are so oppressive? The numbers coming versus those leaving are quite lopsided, and for good reason. I'm not here to discount peoples' perc...

How Can We Promote a Culture of Civility When Discussing Politics? DTH Episode 158 with Julian Adorney

April 26, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

How Can We Promote a Culture of Civility When Discussing Politics? Why is it that people these days are so terrified of people of differing opinions and mindsets? Do you think it may have something to do with the toxicity we see in social media? Or maybe it's the bombardment of "if it bleeds it leads", hate, violence and bad news from the main stream 24 hour news cycle? Could it be the politicians, outrage entrepreneurs and grievance grifters that are peddling a constant stream of Fear, Out...

Mindset Matters When Locked Up Abroad... DTH Episode 157 with Chancellor Jackson

April 19, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MB

Mindset Matters When Locked Up Abroad Everyone has a story. Our unique experiences in life is what makes up our story. How we deal with adversity can often make the difference in whether something turns out very bad, or for the good, not just for yourself, but for many others. Do you look at a mistake and see an opportunity? Do you look for an opportunity to learn in all situations? Leaders are those who seek answers and solutions to problems instead of ways to shirk accountability when thin...
