Can you articulate your opponent's perspective in a way that they recognize? Or are you straw manning? No, I'm not. A difference of belief is nothing to me. But I can imagine myself no longer wishing to have a relationship with a person who behaved in certain ways towards me or towards others. And so certain behaviors would probably be a deal breaker for me and that would include demonizing others for small transgressions.
Host Megan Phelps-Roper asks J.K. Rowling to respond to pushback from some of her critics. The two also discuss the difficulty of discernment—why it can be so hard to know what’s right.
Produced by Andy Mills, Matthew Boll, Megan Phelps-Roper, with special thanks to Candace Mittel Kahn and Emily Yoffe.
