The Transformative Power of Kindness and Forgiveness

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 158 Enough is enough. While there is much need for purposed action around the world to set our countries to right, we are rapidly realizing we've had enough radicalism. But radicalism, often in answer to radicalism, is still rapidly on the rise. These facts raise an important question: What is the road away from radicalization? How do we deradicalize generations? An answer can be found in the religious spirit cultivated by the Christian and Jewish faiths, whether one is religious or not. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads from the latter part of Melita Maschmann's eye-opening book, An Account Rendered: A Dossier on My Former Self (https://amzn.to/3EBi7JD) in which she recounts the series of encounters with three Christians and a Jew that ultimately spurred and then finished her "inner break from National Socialism." Join him to hear about the unbelievable power of patient, unforgetting forgiveness and the accountability it carries with it. New book!
