Josh and Tim talk about confirmation bias and why that’s a difficult thing to avoid during this political season.

Some of the questions we respond to in this episode:

1. How hard should we work to balance our social media feeds so that we see both sides of multiple issues when we log into Facebook or Twitter?
2. Are there any pro-choice films that you recommend to anti-abortion thinkers? In addition, are there any pro-choice films you deem to be morally reprehensible and therefore undeserving of pro-life viewership?

If you usually don’t enjoy the pre-show banter, we’re going to encourage you to listen to it this time. It ends up directly tying with the main topic for the show.

Josh and Tim answer a question from “e” on the forum about pro-abortion campaigns like #ShoutYourAbortion. They answer the following questions:

Do you think the push to normalize abortion is a credible threat to the pro-life movement?

Have you noticed a change in your conversations on university campuses in the past two years?

How should pro-life advocates balance compassion for women with spreading the truth when faced with #Shoutyourabortion type campaigns?

Josh and Tim answer questions about the art of dialogue. Watch this preview video from the Equipped for Life Course to hear the lesson they are discussing.

Questions:

Jim: “I know your focus is more of a one-on-one conversational dialogue. But is there any consideration of including anything regarding how things differ in a debate scenario?”

Kristine: “Could you give me some more examples of the differences between a clarification question and an argument with a question mark that you encourage people to avoid making? And are there any instances where you might use an argument with a question mark?” We also discuss “the Socratic method” and more reasons why we make most of our arguments with periods instead of question marks.

Simon in Australia: “How do you deal with people who are equivocating or using words vaguely?”
