In episode 120 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk through different types of disagreement (e.g. disagreements online vs philosophical disagreements) and consider why we have such a tough time dealing with those who don’t see things as we do. Is the format of social media platforms to blame for the bad faith disagreements that occur on them? What role do confidence and conviction play in disagreement? Can we have a world without disagreement, or is disagreement an inevitable feature of our social lives? And how can we navigate the “shitstorm” when others refuse agree with us?

Time to be real! From romanticism to reality TV, from social media to existentialism, Ellie and David discuss Heidegger’s writings on Eigentlichkeit (authenticity); they go over sincerity, the self, and discuss drag queens as the peak of postmodern authenticity.
