Can online debates really change people's minds, or do they just make us more stubborn? In this episode of 700 Days to Live, we explore the art of listening, persuasion and respectful engagement in the digital era. Online debates often descend into arguments, but what if we approached them differently? Instead of chasing 'victory', what if we valued curiosity, nuance, and understanding?
In this episode, I discuss:
- why online debates rarely flip opinions overnight
- the difference between adopting new beliefs and modifying existing ones.
- how respectful listening can reduce hostility and foster intellectual humility.
- why the goal of online debate should be growth, not triumph.
If you’ve ever wondered whether digital discussions can make us better listeners, more thoughtful allies and more open-minded citizens, this talk is for you!
