When a leader speaks, our reason dies Descent into Dissent

What is it about 'cults of personality' that affects humans so much? When a leader of a group or someone famous uses their platform to promote a particular stance, we are unable to separate the idea from the person. Because religion is supposed to equate to 'truth' we can't seem to sift the good ideas from the bad ones. When someone we admire or like takes a stance, we either love or hate that person just because of that one stance. Join Cole and Shawn as they delve into this fascinating aspect of our culture.
