Middle

Many call for us to meet in the middle, but that's a tough ask. In this week's episode, the Drs. tackle the distinction between Persian vs. Arab and the problematic "Middle East" phrasing. They then move on to the Target boycott that rages on despite a male declaration that accomplishing 3 of 4 goals is enough. Lastly, a recent NYT Op Ed queries whether American politics can ever meet in the middle. Our discourse is currently understood as a binary, win-lose "blood sport." Dehumanization prevails over logical discourse – are we at the end?
