About this episode
This episode explores how individuals distance themselves from the implications of their beliefs and the fear of being seen as extremists.
Send us Fan Mail This Daily Dose explores the reflexive self-protection people use when confronted with the implications of their own beliefs: “Nope. Not me. I didn’t say that. I never went that far. I’m not an extremist.” Jamie examines how individuals distance themselves from the very ideas they defend, and what that reveals about fear, accountability, and the human need to remain “reasonable” in their own eyes. www.thedailyformer.com Like what you're hearing?
