About this listen

What happens when moral reasoning is replaced by comparison and outrage?
In this episode, we name what may be the greatest moral fallacy of our time: the "yeah, but" fallacy—the habit of justifying our own behavior by pointing to the failures of the other side. We explore how this entrenched way of thinking corrodes conscience and threatens the American Republic. And as we launch this new series—an extension of Our Cultural Crisis—we begin to plot a path forward: a third way out of the madness.
