College Debates That Changed Understanding
- Geoffrey Cohen describes late-night debates with his conservative college roommate Hank that exposed how little he could justify his political beliefs.
- Those debates revealed beliefs often stem from group influence and post-hoc rationalizations rather than deep reflection.
Fundamental Attribution Error Fuels Division
- The fundamental attribution error makes us explain others' actions by character rather than situational forces.
- Recognizing situational causes reduces rage and divisiveness in political disagreement.

- Living in different neighborhoods and networks increases divergent realities and political divides.
