In this edition, host Corey Nathan dives into two behaviors that shut down meaningful dialogue before it even starts: ad hominem attacks and treating individuals as proxies for groups. Drawing from real-life interactions and candid personal stories, Corey illustrates why civil discourse matters now more than ever.

What Is Discussed:

  • Why personal attacks destroy productive dialogue

  • How assuming people represent an entire group harms mutual understanding

  • Strategies for better conversations: passive, defensive, and proactive

  • Why labels and assumptions often miss the mark

  • The power of treating others as individuals with unique stories

Episode Highlights:

  • 1:00 – Defining the two dialogue killers: ad hominem and proxy labeling

  • 2:00 – A local mayor faces national-level hostility in small-town politics

  • 4:00 – A neighborly disagreement about family farms shows how it can be done right

  • 5:00 – Corey’s impassioned reaction to toxic comments and attacks

  • 10:00 – When people are reduced to stand-ins for political ideologies

  • 14:00 – Facebook comments spiral as users resort to vilifying each other

  • 19:00 – Setting realistic expectations when engaging across divides

  • 27:00 – “I will not defend positions I don’t hold”—drawing healthy boundaries

  • 30:00 – Lessons from the fight for marriage equality: changing hearts through human connection

  • 33:00 – Passive, defensive, and proactive strategies to communicate better

Featured Quotes:

  • “People are people—not proxies...”

  • “I will not defend positions that I don’t hold.”

  • “You’re not talking to ‘them,’ you’re talking to me.”

  • “Go talk some politics and religion with gentleness and respect.”
