Putting everyone on 'mute' is reshaping our society, and it's not for the better. 'Cancel culture' has moved beyond a buzzword—it's embedding itself in our daily interactions. Gone are the days when we could readily 'agree to disagree.' Losing this ability is taking a toll, driving wedges between us and fostering misunderstanding on a global scale. In this episode, I discuss the repercussions of closing our ears to differing opinions and how this refusal is a roadblock to our collective advancement. It's time to cease silencing dissenting voices and start embracing the diverse range of experiences and viewpoints surrounding us. Because if we don't, we're not just talking about conflict on a global stage; we're inviting it into our personal relationships, turning our lives into battlegrounds.
