Before We Choose a Side

What happens to empathy when more and more of our interactions take place in spaces built for speed? We often focus on the divide between online and real life. But perhaps the more revealing tension lies between digital immediacy and the slower rhythm of human relationships. In this third episode of The Quiet Between, Juliette Pasquet reflects on recent events in France and explores how speed, distance, and the filter of a screen shape the way we disagree. She asks what it takes to remain curious about the person behind a position, even when their story challenges everything we believe. The problem is not that we disagree. It is how we disagree. The Quiet Between is an editorial space for slower, more attentive living. Make room. Notice more. thequietbetween.space
