Nine Hundred and Twenty-Five: Righteousness Porn and Surrogation Bias

In the first part of this episode, we discuss the now-viral hug between Amber Guyger and Botham Jean's brother and our opinion on the optics of the whole situation.  We also discuss the idea of weaponized forgiveness and the "righteousness porn" that many folks seem to be addicted to when things like this happen.

In the second part, we talk about the idea of surrogation bias in society and how many of us tend to borrow or take on the experiences and ideas of others instead of developing ideas, experiences, and opinions of our own on things.
