Each weekend on Best Of The Gist, we revisit an archival segment from the past and pair it with a replay of something from the past week. This weekend, we revisit Mike's 2018 interview with cultural psychologist Michele Gelfand, who challenges us to think of societies not along the traditional "liberal to conservative" spectrum but instead as ranging from "tight to loose." It's a theory she explores in her book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Rule-Makers-Breakers-Tight-Cultures/dp/1501152939/ref=asc_df_1501152939?mcid=b9eca9914bdf36a8866c4c8599647ccc&hvocijid=6326075910444993706-1501152939-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6326075910444993706&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004590&hvtargid=pla-2281435177818&psc=1"> Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World</a>.

Drones, Thugs, and Disharmony

For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma. The Gist is surprising, reasonable, and willing to critique the left, the right, either party, or any idea.
