We discussed some concerns many have about being in an enclosed space with people for an extended period of time. Also, Peter gives us his take on how to handle impossible conversations during lockdown. This series was very honest and personal. We discussed our current life situations and we both shared some of the experiences we've had during this weird experience. Peter gave me genuine advice on what can I do to make the best out of this experience, both for me and for my family.I am really thankful with him for joining me to discuss what we consider an overlooked consequence of this crisis. Peter truly is a role model for me.---Website: http://peterboghossian.comBook: How to Have Impossible Conversations.Twitter: @peterboghossianGreat conversation with Chris at Peak ProspetityAtheos App: It's the perfect app for atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, freethinkers, and even believers who want to find out how best to engage in religious discussions.---HIGHLIGHTSIntro(5:10) Will crimes increase during lockdown?(9:00) Belief revisions during lockdown.(12:40) Who should we treat first during a pandemic?(13:45) Are all lives equal?(19:00) Social Justice Movement in Mexico.(20:00) Reverse Q&A .(23:40) What are the consequences of telling a whole generation that they are fragile?(25:03) Should we have universal protocols to help us navigate through a crisis?(29:47) How will our conversations look like during / after this crisis?(31:17) Following up with part one of our conversation.(33:10) The power of scales and modeling(33:30) How can asking someone questions can change their behavior for good - disconfirmation questions.(34:04) The backfire effect(36:55) Workout during lockdown.(38:00) Making difficult decisions during lockdown.(38:55) Peter's wife is a hero!(44:08) Healthcare providers should be given Time's magazine person of the year award.Outro---Thanks for tuning in for this edition of Through Conversations Podcast!If you find this episode interesting, consider subscribing to it.
