Whoever is underrepresented in your life will be overrepresented in your imagination.
Instead of people, you'll see monsters. Instead of possibilities, you'll see disasters.
That's the challenge of a polarized world.
Here are 3 q's you can ask to meet it. 🧵 #reclaimcuriosity

Such a cool depolarization study from @jayvanbavel--have AI identify non-fiction books most likely to depolarize people and assign people to read them--and it yields a great list of depolarizing books, including ones I love by @amandaripley @moniguzman @RealDarylDavis and more!

One of the hardest parts of free speech is that it demands a culture mature enough to hear painful, foolish, even offensive ideas, and still choose argument over coercion.
I joined @moniguzman on @ABraverWay to talk about why that discipline matters most in a divided country.

I highly recommend this episode of A Braver Way podcast with host @moniguzman, @AprilALawson featuring a cross-partisan panel with @StrangelEdweird, @shirahoffer, and @TravisTripodiNH – I found it incredibly insightful.

"We’re judging each other more while engaging each other less," says @moniguzman. But curiosity — asking questions to elaborate your views instead of confirm your positions — may be the most powerful force for bridging divides.

I had a great time chatting with @moniguzman and the rest of the panelists on @abraverway about the election aftermath. I hope our conversation is helpful to people on both sides of the aisle as they navigate how to move forward.
I’m so full of optimism about the potential for real meaningful change in our politics moving forward. I hope I was able to communicate why I feel that way with some clarity.
Let me know what you think.
Two weeks after the election, red/blue tensions are through the roof. In our last episode of the season a cross-partisan panel of Trump and Harris voters take on a fiery handful of our toughest listener questions, in a conversation you won't want to miss. braverangels.org/a-braver-wa…
