#105 My Side Good, Your Side Bad

Hosts Dave Kelsey and H. Daniel Mujahid examine tribalism, confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and how technology and social media amplify our tendency to defend our side and condemn the other. Using examples from politics, sports, family, and business, they show how identical behavior is judged differently depending on who does it and offer a practical test: pause, ask if you'd judge your own side the same way, check your evidence, and consider what would change your mind. The episode challenges listeners to catch their own hypocrisy, apply the same standards to everyone, and make principles matter even when they are costly.
