Christian Szurko has helped thousands of former members of extremist authoritarian sects in their recovery. He and Jon agree that taking responsibility for the harm you have done is a necessary part of that recovery.

Christian and Jon also discuss the polarization of society into warring factions and the need for a more individual approach to belief.
