Parameters for Essays/Op-Eds to Be Shared on :
To exhibit virtues such as civility, thoughtfulness, being well-informed, articulate, specific and honest. To resist the common temptations prevalent in much of contemporary commentary such as overly generalizing, mischaracterizing, vilifying and even dehumanizing. While it is productive to advocate for or critique specific ideas (such as poli
tical positions or philosophical perspectives) or individuals (such as politicians or academics), it is destructive once we start to label large groups of people together, holding all of "them" in mutual culpability for any number of ills. Whether it's "the Left" or "Trumpsters" or even "the MSM," the point is to eschew the intellectual laziness of this certain form of prejudice and to be more precise in our thinking, allowing and accounting for the uniqueness of each individual we encounter. Here's the kicker: Comments are to be turned off because while we believe in the freedom of speech, we don't believe everyone is entitled to a microphone, at least not on this platform. So we're welcoming contributions from others in the form of guest essays/op-eds; but we're setting a slightly higher barrier to entry by way of invitation.
If you don't like nuance, you're gonna hate this episode. If you see everything through a binary, either/or partisan lens, this edition ain't for you. If you think those who don't share your political views are the enemy, just don't bother. For the rest of us... This talk is about the economy. Corey...

In this conversation, we're joined by Greg Lukianoff, the President of Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Hey Apple friends! I have a favor. Our podcast Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is in the top 1.5% of podcasts in the world (very exciting!) as ranked on the most trusted resource in the industry (Listen Notes). What's holding us back from being in the top 1% is that we need more reviews, specifically on Apple.

Tim Alberta's new book (HarperCollins) has been getting a ton of attention, and deservedly so. Tim was kind enough to join me on Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other and we discussed the American church as well as how this work has impacted Tim's own faith; how folks back home, where his dad was a pastor, reacted to what he's been writing; the way figures like Donald Trump, Paula White and Jerry Falwell, Jr. have been able to pull such epic heists; and we even talked about Tim's favorite football team, the Detroit Lions.

“Whenever and wherever identity-based violence occurs, communication is weaponized.” - Over Zero
On Tuesday, November 14th at 7PM ET we will be joined via Zoom by the extraordinary Rachel Brown, the Founder of Over Zero—named in reference to the “zero sum game” that exists in sporting events, but becomes dangerous when it overtakes a society, as it has ours. Over Zero was founded to prevent identity-based violence that is on the rise around the world—and here at home. Rachel is one of the wisest, steadiest voices of our time in guiding us away from dangerous (but human) reactions, and toward calmer times.
Over Zero works in the United States, Central Europe, and East Africa—providing assistance to a diverse set of partners, including civil society leaders and organizations, funders and large institutions, and other leaders within society.
For the past decade, Rachel’s work has focused on using communication to prevent violent conflict. She is the author of Defusing Hate: A Strategic Communication Guide to Counteract Dangerous Speech and was a 2014 Fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide. Rachel previously founded and ran Sisi ni Amani-Kenya (SNA-K), a Kenyan NGO that pioneered new strategies to build local capacity for peacebuilding and civic engagement.

“Our national myths often exaggerate the role of the individual heroes and understate the importance of collective effort.” - Robert Putnam Robert D. Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett will be joining us Thursday, October 5th at 7 pm ET via Zoom and Facebook Live. Iconic political scientist Dr. Robert Putnam first sounded the alarm about a half century of declining social capital in "Bowling Alone", now he’s teaming up with his co-author of “The Upswing” Shaylyn Romney Garrett to convince us that we really should join a club. And that the fate of America depends on it. Harvard professor Robert D. Putnam is America’s preeminent political scientist — and one of the most widely read and cited social scientists living today. Author of fourteen books, translated into twenty languages, his work focuses on asking big questions about American society. His groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research — which demonstrated that levels of American community connections were in decline over the past half-century — rocketed Putnam to national fame in the late 1990s, earning him the moniker “the poet laureate of civil society.” Shaylyn Romney Garrett is a passionate believer that everyday interactions are where we do the “heart work” required to transform our hyper-individualistic culture and reclaim the power of “We.” She is the co-author with Dr. Putnam of “The Upswing: How America Came Together A Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again,” which has been acclaimed as “a magnificent and visionary book,” and “a must-read for those who wonder how we can reclaim our nation’s promise.” She writes about her personal journey back to community on her blog and newsletter, Project Reconnect. This program is part of the UNUM: Democracy Reignited series in partnership with Florida Humanities, which explores the past, present and future of the American idea — as it exists on paper, in the hearts of our people, and as it manifests in our lives.
Toxic polarization and conflict is exhausting. Whether it’s in your family, at work or in our perpetually acrimonious civic life, it’s like a suitcase full of big ole rocks we lug around while we try to get the usual tasks of life-y-ness done. Our UNUM journey has brought us thinkers and leaders from sea to shining sea, but now we’re turning intentionally to see THE WAY OUT — and it turns out that really being able to see it is a key first step in being able to do it. Columbia University’s Peter T. Coleman brings us deep wisdom informed by a life in scholarship that leaves us more hopeful than the usual fare. Know that when we listen to Peter, we do cartwheels of joy — and who doesn’t need joy right about now?
