When confronted with uncomfortable truths, both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters often deny or reframe facts. Cognitive dissonance — the mental discomfort caused by contradictory evidence — shapes political and moral judgments on both sides.

This clip explores how defense mechanisms, identity, and moral framing influence our perception of reality. Understanding this doesn’t excuse denial — it helps us see conflict more clearly and fosters empathy across polarized debates.

Welcome to The Armchair Alpha — a channel for big questions, deep ideas, and sharp reflections on the world we live in. Here you’ll find long-form video essays on philosophy, politics, psychology, epistemology, and the messy art of public debate.

I explore topics like moral absolutism, woke discourse, populism, Spiral Dynamics, and the culture wars — always with an eye for nuance and complexity. Instead of simple “hot takes,” this channel dives into the layered tensions between freedom and security, progress and tradition, individuality and community.

The Armchair Alpha is about embracing contradictory perspectives, asking uncomfortable questions, and looking for wisdom beyond left vs. right. Whether it’s analyzing current events, breaking down philosophical theories, or reflecting on moral development, the goal is to think critically, resist polarization, and create space for deeper understanding.

If you’re interested in philosophy, politics, psychology, and the complexity of modern society, this channel is for you.
