Ep. 489: Amanda Ripley on Why and How We Get Trapped in Conflict
Have you noticed that we live in contentious times? I certainly have. Our politics is polarized. Even our church life is too often contentious and ideological, with positions being driven as much by tribalism as by Scripture or a principled theology. Why is there so much conflict today, and is there a way out of it? Amanda Ripley thinks there is. She’s an investigative journalist who has written for Slate, The Atlantic, and many other publications. She is also trained in conflict mediation, and she teaches other journalists how to cover high conflict situations in...

Your brain’s survival algorithm is outdated. Here’s how to upgrade it | Amanda Ripley
"The fear of panic has killed more people than most disasters themselves." What really happens to your mind in a crisis? We all think we know how we'd react in an emergency—but according to journalist and author Amanda Ripley, we're usually wrong. Drawing from interviews with real people in disasters—from plane crashes to terrorist attacks, research on human behavior under stress, and firsthand experience in disaster training, Ripley explores the psychological patterns that unfold in crisis: denial, deliberation, and decisive action. 00:00 Surviving a crisis 01:55 Your disaster personality 03:22 Denial, deliberation, decisiveness 04:05 Normalcy bias 07:01 The World Trade Center evac...

Conflict, crisis, consumption: What’s eating our nation? Amanda Ripley: Full Interview
**🔥 *Hooked on Hate: Why We Can’t Look Away from Conflict*** In *High Conflict*, Amanda Ripley dives into the dark heart of human friction — that toxic, magnetic version of conflict we fall into and can’t escape. It’s not just fighting — it’s a cycle of obsession, identity, and self-destruction. Whether it’s politics, relationships, or gang wars, the pattern is the same: we become trapped in an all-or-nothing mindset, harming the very things we swore to protect. **🧠 Why We Get Stuck** Ripley compares high conflict to a tar pit. It *looks* calm, even inviting...

You're supposed to know for sure, and there's very little intellectual humility on social media or on TV.” **"How Political Division is Ripping Us Apart—And the Simple Fix"** Why do we turn every debate into *good vs. Evil*? In times of anxiety, humans crave certainty, forcing the world into rigid camps of "us" and "them." But what if that’s an illusion?

"These days, no national news network is trusted by more than half of American adults. And that's a problem." The news is broken.

1106: Amanda Ripley | The Secrets to Surviving an Unthinkable Disaster
Want to survive a disaster? The Unthinkable author Amanda Ripley explains why knowing your neighbors matters more than hoarding supplies. What We Discuss with Amanda Ripley: Contrary to popular belief, people rarely panic in disasters. Instead, the biggest challenge is often lethargy and denial — people tend to freeze or remain passive rather than exhibit chaotic behavior. This denial phase can be deadly as it delays taking necessary action. In most disasters, the people who save lives are regular civilians, not first responders (who often can't arrive quickly enough). However, this dynamic is being threatened by declining tr...

Amanda Ripley — Stepping out of "the zombie dance" we're in, and into "good conflict" that is, in fact, life-giving
Amanda Ripley began her life as a journalist covering crime, disaster, and terrorism. Then in 2018, she published a brilliant essay called “Complicating the Narratives,” which she opened by confessing a professional existential crisis. We journalists, she wrote, “can summon outrage in five words or less. We value the ancient power of storytelling, and we get that good stories require conflict, characters and scene. But in the present era of tribalism, it feels like we’ve reached our collective limitations … Again and again, we have escalated the conflict and snuffed the complexity out of the conversation."Yet what Amanda has...

In recent weeks the great American divide grew again.

On many media platforms nuance is replaced by taunts and jeers. Our nation is trapped in high conflict. Both sides are paralyzed by fear and anger as they demonize and misunderstand the actions and motivations of the other.

“Usually in high conflict, the conflict becomes the whole point. So you make a lot of mistakes and you can miss opportunities that would actually be in the interest you are fighting for. The reason you got into the fight to begin with, whereas good conflict is the kind of conflict where again, you can be angry, you can be yell, you can have radical visions for the future. You can and must, you know, organize and protest and hold people accountable. But you do it much more skillfully. You make fewer mistakes because you're not essentially being controlled by...

Navigating conflict is part of everything: Family, relationships, business. Productive disagreement can lead to innovation, compromise, and inclusion. But investigative journalist Amanda Ripley has spent much of her career studying what she calls "high conflict." This is where disagreements get so entrenched that they become identities, and a cycle of blame. People are quickly sucked into a tribal mentality: "It's Us verses Them." This is what has become of our politics, our online discourse, and actual warfare, as we've sadly seen in recent weeks. But there's hope. After covering disasters, warzones, and local politics for...

Sometimes, it's unhealthy conflict that harms our relationships. Other times, it's healthy conflict that strengthens them. High conflict is something different. It happens when we view the conflict as good versus evil. It's when the walls go up. When it's about us versus them. Right versus wrong. We double down on our assumptions, maybe about people we don't even know. Ultimately, we get stuck. It's a volatile place, and a dangerous one, because it's often just...
