Hate is generally defined as an extreme hostility to something or someone, usually stemming from fear, anger or a sense of injury. But how does it work? Join Josh and Chuck in this classic episode as they dig into the nature of hate.
In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive deep into what hatred really means—exploring everything from our casual use of the word "I hate broccoli" to genuine, dangerous hatred that drives violence and extremism. They examine the science behind hate (there's actually a "hate circuit" in the brain), trace its roots back through history from ancient Rome to Nazi propaganda, and discuss how hatred gets weaponized through storytelling, media, and the deliberate exploitation of people's frustrations and fears. Along the way, they tackle tough questions about whether hate is a mental illness, how entire groups can be manipulated into hating others, and why some people seem wired to nurture grudges while others can let them go.
