On this episode of the Argument Ninja podcast I talk about TRIBALISM and the challenges that our tribal psychology poses for critical thinking.
This episode includes the audio for two sketchbook videos I’ve done on this topic, “The Dangers of Tribalism” (11 minutes) and “Our Tribal Intelligence” (13 minutes), with additional commentary not found in those videos (25 minutes).
