Inflammation in Public Discourse - Polarization and Verbal Attack Online

Rebel Health Radio

In this podcast I discuss 'verbal inflammation in public discourse' - a term coined by Zach Bush which I loved. It is especially prevalent on social media where many people are completely anonymous or under pseudonyms. This type of inflammation gets its name from the effect of having an injury to the body and the redness and heat that follows - but this is the sort that we encounter on a daily basis when some of us content creators put our opinion out there and find we are attacked by people personally.
This happened to me recently which I describe in the video and was very distressing. Just because we are willing to speak up doesn't mean we deserve to be attacked. Kindness and mutual compromise in the discourse online seem to be very rare nowadays and people find it easy to polarize and point the finger. Here I take issue with this prevalent mode of attack and question the real reason people attack others is due to their own unhealed emotions. If we are in a heightened emotional state it is easy to attack in trying to defend ourselves against an unknown enemy which may be from past experience and nothing to do with the present experience we are having. It is up to all emotionally literate and compassionate people to refuse to take part in this destructive polarization and demonization of others.
I was inspired by this discussion by Zach Bush on the Rich Roll podcast here
