Thought-Terminating Clichés and Common Sense | Winnipeg News

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Ever say “agree to disagree” or “everything happens for a reason” when things get tough? Those phrases might feel comforting, but they’re thought-terminating clichés—shortcuts that shut down real conversation. And we’re not just guilty of tossing them around—we also love labeling ideas as “common sense,” even when that’s just a way to avoid questioning flawed beliefs. From outdated medical practices to economic myths like “raising the minimum wage kills jobs,” this podcast exposes how “common sense” often protects the status quo and blocks progress. It’s time to dig deeper, challenge assumptions, and stop letting oversimplified truths keep us from fixing what’s broken.
