Self-Righteousness

Join us in this profound and eye-opening discussion with the insightful Caroline Phipps as she unravels the subject of self-righteousness in our era of hyper-connectivity. Caroline's eloquent reflections paint a picture of the world drastically shifted by instant information transmission, a dynamic that has not only brought us closer but also spurred the rise of self-righteous beliefs.

In this remarkable episode, we explore the notion of the 'Era of Stone Throwers,' a symbolic expression of the self-righteous individuals who capitalizes on our globally connected society to assert and enforce their beliefs without face-to-face confrontation. Caroline provocatively argues that amidst the great opportunities that our digital age offers, lies an undertow of forces pushing back against progress and unity.

Unveiling the dangers and boredom of self-righteous posturing, Caroline sketches a clear correlation between the lure of such conduct and the fear and uncertainty plaguing our modern lives. Interestingly, she draws on the polarizing case of a specific beer brand to illustrate the crippling divisive impact of self-righteous beliefs.

Chiming in with a quote from Maya Angelou, Caroline ponders on why people succumb to self-righteousness, deeming it an exhausting but seductive stance for those struggling with insecurities and uncertainties. The antidote, she proposes, is redirecting our focus inward, nurturing our personal growth, and taking accountability for our actions.

Awash with aplomb and a touch of humor, this episode is a timely and riveting call to love more, hate less, and resist the temptation of throwing stones from our glass houses.
