How to disagree without biting someone鈥檚 head off

We share tips on how to disagree with grace.

We all disagree on some things. For some people disagreeing is natural and, in some instances, even enjoyable. While for others it鈥檚 super uncomfortable, and something they want to avoid at all costs. Social media is alive with angry keyboard warriors at each other鈥檚 throats, but it is possible to disagree without hurting someone鈥檚 feelings.

Bo Seo is an expert at this. He鈥檚 a world debate champion, author, and a former coach of the Australian national debating team. He shares the art of having a good debate, and therefore a good conversation. Plus, we speak to Jason Lee, the founder of Jubilee, about why his YouTube and TikTok videos, which bring people together despite their differences, are gaining billions of views.
