319- Common Ground, Not Common Enemies with Nathan Smolensky
Description
We confront tribal habits, set aside ego, and explore how to disagree without scorched-earth rhetoric. Nathan Smolensky shares tools for curiosity, active listening, and clear messaging, plus a realistic path for independents in a system built for two.

• replacing coded language with clear, simple words
• designing conversations to test ideas, not people
• moving from fact fights to shared guardrails on power
