>aren't we making people a lot more selfish? Not necessarily, we all are to a degree or another, hard wired to care for each other and to want to belong to something. I care for my neighbor because I have met him several times and I just feel within me that when he's happy I can feel better and more relaxed. It is like that Charlie Chaplin Great Dictator speech; >"We all want to live by eachother's happiness, not by eachother's misery" For the last year or so, I had been thinking on this topic, specially from the direction of de-radicalizing people when talking about politics, specially in today's age. I realized that the amount of time I spend talking with people and engaging them on conversation on said subjects is just a sliver of the amount of time they actually spend consuming polarizing content and altering their own neuron network to be unfriendly to new ideas, meaning that wherever I discuss things, I'm fighting asymmetrically against their set past experiences, therefore I should instead of go in long diatribes, I need to get past said wall of pre-conceved notions, arguments and dialogue trees right into shared interests and outlook, after all, we all want a better world, so we can set that as the goal and build on each other's views. Thank you for the link btw, I very much liked that last drawing, it is super cute
