    You Don't Need an Opinion on Everything

    Back in 2020, I lost about a dozen friends because I didn’t post a black square. I was still trying to figure out what I believed. In this episode of The Rush Cut, I talk about the pressure to have the “right” opinion, celebrity politics, and feeling politically homeless. I also share what’s helped me think for myself: checking the evidence, listening outside my circle, and asking AI to challenge my assumptions. You’re allowed to ask questions and change your mind. Let me know if you’ve ever felt this pressure too.
