After Kevin, Arnaud Hoedt and Jérôme Piron find their long-time accomplice, Antoine Defoort, and tackle a subject as banal as it is dizzying: why is it so difficult to debate without turning the other into an adversary? Behind the lightness, they explore the mechanisms that shape our opinions, our disagreements and our chronic inability to listen to those who do not think like us. They dissect our cognitive biases, our lack of reciprocity, and our far too comfortable narrative coherences. The audience, telephone in hand, becomes a volunteer guinea pig. The issue, in essence, is democracy itself—a fragile concept that allows us to coexist without necessarily agreeing. With this trio as serious as playful, reflection is not lacking in air. We emerge from the debate less sure of being right.
