I loved Dr.Gounder’s address! My favorite part was the story about speaking to someone who refused a COVID vaccine. She never discussed vaccines at all but convinced the person.
How -
“ I have found that often, the solution to mis-information is not simply “more information.”
Instead, it is more compassion. More curiosity. More trust building.”
As a Braver Angels moderator, I have had similar experiences. This is such an important lesson for countering misinformation & polarization.
Wild, I used "milquetoast" today, too. The situation is really quite dire, I wonder if there are any real world consequences happening yet, (ie deaths) bc of all the impeding that's going on over the last several months.

Words of wisdom and knowledge gently shared, thank you Dr. Gounder. And thank you Dr. Faust for continuing to get the facts out to us.
Great speech!
