A short YouTube conversation (Vishen Lakhiani and another speaker) about making social media a positive influence. The speakers argue against polarizing, party-blaming content and promote instead spreading unity by highlighting diverse people (teachers, inventors) and creators; they emphasize gradual cultural change rather than outright condemnation, noting issues are often nuanced rather than black-and-white.

People watching this want you to say that one party is bad. They want me to say Republicans are bad or Democrats. That's not our point.
Because you are their voice.
Exactly. What I like about the way NAS Daily handles it and the way mindvalley handles it is that we're not concerned about that. We're concerned in spreading unity by shining the light on people of different ethnicities, teachers of different nations, inventors who may be of different backgrounds. And bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, we chip away with the old system without directly saying, this is bad. Because I think you and I both know this. There is no black and white. Everything is, in a way, a shade of gray.
Yes, completely agree. And I think it's. I think social media has only made it more black and white. That's why I'm starting to question social media. And I live on social media. My job is social media. We are guilty of doing black and white things. The best teacher, the best country, the worst commercial. You know, like, we do the black and white thing in our content, but it's never polarizing. In a way, it's always like, positive enforcements. And I think that's something you do as well.
