Featured Hot Take

When we don’t own our hypocrisy, things get messy. Really messy. So, it’s about time we start cleaning up our public discourse, right Peter Biro?
 
Peter Biro is a leading Canadian legal thinker, public intellectual, and civic advocate whose work bridges the worlds of law, scholarship, public policy, and democratic engagement.
 
We’re featuring this podcast across all five Nature Labs subjects. You might not like every course you take in school, but they are all related. By listening to this podcast, hopefully you’ll better understand why.

Reflection

  • How can we put forward and debate issues in a constructive way that enhances our democracy?
  • Do you think we need to be more patient when it comes to advancing our ideas for change? Do we ask for too much, too quickly?
  • Do we need more empathy for those that we disagree with?
  • Do we need to be more inclusive of voices who have opinions informed by experiences different from our own?
  • Do you listen to differing opinions? Or do you only listen to different opinions from within your own community or echo chamber?
