Recently I chatted with the wonderful Kate Wand and the result was an insightful fast-paced conversation.
Here are some of the topics we talked about:
Society returns to tribalism when individuals see each other as objects.
Making informed decisions is a civic and moral responsibility of individuals in a free society.
The human tendency to project onto others what you do not want to see in yourself undermines your well being and damages society.
The miracles arising from human cooperation emerge as we stop trying to control what we do not understand.
A process of subtraction removes barriers that keep us from living more authentic lives.
People are not powerless because they can change their mind; that internal mind shift leads to societal change.
Here are Kate’s and her partner William’s video adaptations of my essays. At YouTube, if you click “show more,” there is a link to the essay that the video is based on.
