curtis: There shouldn't really be any logical correlation writing those two views for why, you know, anti vaxer would also be pro pudent. And i realize that what we're seeing here was a rise of a contrarian, i don't ko contrarion is the right word, but essentially a rejectionist spirit. Curtis: It's simply a reflex to reject whatever the main stream believes, right exactly.

This week David and Curtis start with confession time, each looking closely at the challenges of contrarianism and pride that impact all of us in our modern discourse. They unpack the tricky balance between knowing, certainty, and humility, including the possibility that we might be wrong.

In the second half, they dive into the spiritual challenge of staying attentive to the war in Ukraine without just watching it as a form of perverse entertainment. In another tricky balance, our hosts offer suggestions for staying connected in ways that are less personally destructive and more spiritually healthy.
