Why do so many public debates descend into conflict instead of connection? Conversations should be our most powerful tool for understanding, yet they are increasingly being twisted into performances.
In this video, I explore what makes a genuine conversation work and why our democratic discourse so often breaks down. We revisit the infamous Jordan Peterson vs Cathy Newman interview, where point-scoring and misrepresentation undermined real dialogue, and contrast it with a moving exchange from Ireland’s Citizens’ Assembly on same-sex marriage. There, two people from different generations found empathy and common ground through honest conversation.
Too much of today’s public debate is a pseudo-conversation, shaped by media and social platforms to exploit outrage, polarisation and attention. But when we honour the true spirit of dialogue, we can rebuild trust, strengthen democracy and rediscover our shared humanity. Real conversation is the first step towards a better society.
