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.
