This recommendation was something I felt really strongly about. The Humback and Killer was an inspiration for my recent video, From Genetics To Choice.

We have a decision to make whether we go against biology of division or work together to truly find more win win solutions. Although it is easier to stay divided, the world only succeeds with our collaboration & cooperation.

We are facing complex and challenging problems. However, the only way to overcome these problems is to work together to find win-win solutions.

One of the things that makes it especially hard is that we are condemned to freedom as John Paul Starro says we each are thrown into the world and then we become responsible for everything that we do that is some hard stuff to face.

We can choose to come together and work on a way to better our systems and our country. We can let go of our biological tendency to stay divided and choose to embrace our interdependence.

We do have a choice in how we respond to the problems in our current world. Somethings we have control over and somethings we do not. However, we must remember that our choices do define how we live in this world and the way our system responds.

Can we choose to embrace interdependence? As humans, we can have a choice to work together as a whole to better our systems and go against our biology of dividing ourselves.

In this week’s new Youtube video, I dive into the importance and impact we can have from choosing to work together for win-win solutions instead of remaining divided. Join me as I discuss this topic in detail, share examples of how we stop our divisive thinking and prevent the destruction of our democracy.

Here's an excerpt from my recent essay on Substack, "Why Our Cognitive Biases Prevent Progress" :

The profound us-versus-them discourse in our politics lately has almost adopted a war mindset, full of ad hominem attacks, polarization, and disinformation. When we feel like someone is attacking our group, we might justify anything and throw ethics out. We may even attempt to overthrow democracy to ensure our group gets justice.

Thanks to evolution, your brain protects you from threats, and it’ll do whatever it can to keep you safe. Unfortunately, it doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. Did someone challenge your identity or understanding of reality? To your brain, that is just as threatening as a tiger jumping out of the bushes.

Our political issues are so intense because it's not just uncomfortable for us to be wrong and adapt a new piece of information. We might have to depart from the consensus thinking of the group around us. Opening up to other people's beliefs can threaten our relationship with the group.

We desperately need to develop our skills and understanding of the world around us. It's the only way we can boost our capacity to face complex problems that need nuanced responses.
