All In The Mind · The psychology behind our moral outrage · 18 Apr 2026 podcast

OK, great.

Here are the facts.

And they say, well, not those facts.

Those are not real.

Those are fake facts.

So, you know, different media ecosystems, different facts.

And so not only do we not agree on the facts, but it turns out facts are not really relevant to questions of morality because those things we feel in our gut and those things are about harm.

But turns out the most powerful way to bridge it is through storytelling.

And, you know, as a journalist, I think this is probably obvious to you, not obvious to a lot of people, right?
