Show Notes
Dr. Michael Rota returns to The Pat Flynn Show to discuss the power (and snare!) of motivated reasoning, what role this played in the justification of slavery, and how it may continue to blind us morally to similar moral atrocities (or obligations) today. Dr. Rota finishes with the hypothesis that our failure to adequately care for the poor may itself be the result of motivated reasoning. This was a challenging and fascinating conversation. Please enjoy!
