Larry Rosen says "Words of Moral Judgment Break the Relationship"

from Words Do Things · host Sørina Higgins

In this final interview of the "Bad Words" series, Sørina Higgins interviews Larry Rosen, host of "The Enemies Project," about how to help people see that our enemies are just ourselves on the other side. Larry explains what makes people into activists and how everyone is motivated by a need for belonging. He distinguishes "platforming" from "discussion." They talk about power differentials, morality as a weapon of war, cooperation in an integrated society, and how to resist the enemy-makers. They explore what kind of language is more effective and for what ends. His advice is: Don't convince the other person; just understand them.
