The Only Real Way to Fix Our Divided Society #shorts

Since our founding, we as a people have always lived separate lives in groups divided along ideological and demographic lines. That has been true since we were founded. And at different points across our history, we have gotten more and more insular within these groups and more and more divided across them. And those two things are very important to understand because people keep talking about how we have to bridge the distance. We'll never bridge the distance until we open up the space within groups because we're all colluding with each other. Okay, yeah. All have the same belief system. We're all looking at the same news station. We're all living in the same neighborhood. Talk about self awareness. We need to become aware of where we live our lives and what that's doing to us. So to me, that is the root cause. Now, the big thing about this that to me is so hopeful is that of all the forces driving polarization, the Internet, globalization, inequities, this is the one we can control.
