Out of the Rabbit Hole

Over deze aflevering

<p>Cognitive scientist <a href="https://icsr.info/?team=dr-nafees-hamid">Nafees Hamid</a> studies the minds of people drawn to radical or fringe ideas. This week, he takes us on a deep dive into the motivations of people on the brink of extremism — and those who have already been radicalized. We examine what prompts people to turn to violence, and how to pull them back from the seductive appeal of extremist ideas.</p><p><i>Interested in learning more about the themes and ideas we discussed today?
