Am I the Hater? | A Reflection on Tribalism, Humility, and the Elephant in the Brain | The Canadians Ep. 5

In this solo minisode, host Jared Michael takes a step back to reflect on the deeper mission behind Bad Canadians. Drawing on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and the metaphor of the “rider and the elephant,” Jared explores why rational arguments so often fail—and how emotional connection, humility, and lived experience can move us more than facts ever could. This is a short reflection on tribalism, certainty, and the question we might all need to ask more often: Am I the hater?   Support the podcast: https://www.badcanadianspodcast.ca Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BadCanadians Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/75wxT42gEPMiOBGTFFU4D4?si=-p5-h-6RT-SrzUY3fI8PDA Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bad-canadians/id1785300184 Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@badcanadians?si=BxSQORPmEAhsfbRx
