In this episode of Equianopod, we speak with Chloé Valdary, the visionary behind the Theory of Enchantment. Chloe's unique approach emerged as a response to the complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has evolved into a profound philosophy. She invites us to rethink our approaches to tackling hatred and injustice and emphasises the importance of treating people as human beings.
Highlights from the conversation
Theory of Enchantment focuses on treating people as human beings, and asserts that supremacist thinking stems from a coping mechanism to deal with pain.
The theory emphasises the fundamental interconnectedness of humanity, encouraging individuals to root their interactions in love and compassion.
Chloé distinguishes between responsibility and reactivity, highlighting the importance of conscious choice and response in the face of adversity and injustice.
Chloé also critiques other DEI approaches that use condescending language and caricatures, arguing that they perpetuate insecurity and hinder genuine progress.
