How deep do you have to dig to really grasp someone's point of view? Today we discuss the concept of visions, a powerful way to gain insight into why we tend to differ so vehemently on so many things. Based on Thomas Sowell's excellent book, A Conflict of Visions, a vision goes deeper than an opinion or a moral value--it is a fundamental belief in human nature and how the world works.
Together with my wife and co-host, Emily, in this episode we'll explore how the assumptions we make about the world and about mankind can set us at each other's throats--often without even knowing why!
