This discussion is about pluralism and whether it's a good thing. Pluralism is an acceptance and perhaps embrace of divergent viewpoints, cultures, and religions within a society. Trent and Joel talk about whether pluralism is a good thing and what kinds of skills and values it takes to find common ground with people who are different.
This is not a rosy-eyed discussion of "why can't we all just get along". The world has become super-connected and interdependent, and retreating into cultural cloisters is probably not as feasible as it may have been hundreds of years ago. Join Trent and Joel for this intriguing and timely episode!
