Roqe Ep#182 - Are Iranians Lousy at Dialogue? - Dr. Soroush Dabbagh

Roqe 182 - How big a problem is poor communication amongst Iranians? And is that why we are so divided? And can Clubhouse somehow help? Whether in intra-community polemics and politicized social media debates, or in intimate relationships and family gatherings, dialogue seems to be a challenge for Iranians when it comes to openness, honesty, transparency and tolerance. Psychologist, scholar, and philosopher, Dr. Soroush Dabbagh joins Jian from Mississauga, Canada, to address the challenges of critical thinking, transparency, and acceptance of individual fallibility in the broader Iranian community. And at the same time, the social media platform, Clubhouse, where Dr. Dabbagh has built a huge following, and that is all about dialogue, has become a big boon to Iranians around the world, long after its popularity has waned amongst other communities. What does that say about Iranians and the desire to talk to each other and is Clubhouse fostering improved dialogue for the community?
