169: Slippery Slope - No Small Thing

What this episode covers

We are a curiosity podcast and the notion of "slippery slope" comes up a lot during our episodes as a phrase/ concept/ vibe/ FALLACY that inhibit curiosity and intellectual exploration. In this episode we playfully unpack our experience with this ubiquitous phrase and we also engage with our amazing treasure trove of listener comments! Listeners really came through with some amazing insights! Curiosity invites us to enter the "void" of unknowing so that we can discover new insights and the vague fear of a potential slippery slop (as funny as it is to unpack) can keep people from important insights and growth! Its No Small Thing!
