About this listen
In this episode I’m joined by Jared Shurin, a strategic communications specialist who works in counter extremism, violent radicalisation, misinformation, and social cohesion. We dig into the psychology of people who reach the point of extreme violence, why it often starts with the loss of trust, hope and faith, and how communication can pull people back from the edge.
We talk about:
How people become vulnerable to radicalisation
The link between extremism, suicidality, and hopelessness
Why most people sit in the exhausted moderate middle
The role of belonging, community, and agency in prevention
How governments, NGOs and everyday people can reduce social harm
What actually works when trying to talk someone down from violent thinking
This episode explores the real human drivers behind extremism, how isolation fuels dangerous behaviour, and why rebuilding local community may be our best defence.
