Overcoming Biases and Rising to Our Higher Selves

In this episode of Equianopod, we speak with Chloe Valdary, the visionary behind the Theory of Enchantment. Chloe's unique approach emerged as a response to the complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has evolved into a profound philosophy. She invites us to rethink our approaches to tackling hatred and injustice and emphasises the importance of treating people as human beings.

Highlights from the conversation

• Theory of Enchantment focuses on treating people as human beings, and asserts that supremacist thinking stems from a coping mechanism to deal with pain.
• The theory emphasises the fundamental interconnectedness of humanity, encouraging individuals to root their interactions in love and compassion.
• Chloe distinguishes between responsibility and reactivity, highlighting the importance of conscious choice and response in the face of adversity and injustice.
• Chloe also critiques other DEI approaches that use condescending language and caricatures, arguing that they perpetuate insecurity and hinder genuine progress.
