Bravo 👏 what a fantastic piece. I have yet to see an article, film or any medium that describes one of the key issues of our modern times so perfectly - and then brings real and actionable solutions to the table. I will share and promote this clip - it should be seen by pretty much everybody
Great presentation. Thank you. I worked for many years on a Project that organized and facilitated "Days of Dialogue" for people to come together and have support in listening to one another in small groups on difficult topics where polarized points of view were well known. These were amazingly successful - and required a willingness to summarize the previous speaker's point of view before sharing one's own.....it created safety and discipline for everyone....after many years, we had to discontinue them, because there were so few people from the self-indentified "conservative" branch of voters who wanted to engage in this dialogue....
I think we need more people to watch this video. Thank you for creating it. I would add simple communication to this list. Many issues can be solved with very simple words.
Absolutely. Sometimes we get so deep into our own worldview that we argue with terms and ideas that the people we disagree with are totally unfamiliar with, so it becomes hard to find common ground. Keeping language simple and specific can be very helpful to build understanding.
As Jonathan Haidt puts it: "The mind is divided, like a rider on an elephant, and the rider’s job is to serve the elephant." (The rider is conscious reasoning, and the elephant is the other 99% of mental processes.) It's unreasonable to expect otherwise.
That book (The Righteous Mind) is so good. Once you understand that analogy--that our intelligence often serves to rationalize our emotions, rather than to find correct beliefs--you see it at play everywhere.

Wonderfully inspiring, and ultimately actionable!
Glad you liked it and agreed - it's nice when videos about high-level topics have specific steps we can all take!

@@StandTogetherCC Yes, I agree.

It's not that easy
Yes it is. It just that humans like to make stuff complicated for that sake of seeming better than what we are
Tell me more :)
Modern day life breeds self serving ignorance.
