@BretWeinstein & @HeatherEHeying, As evolutionary biologists you must appreciate more than most that evolved human nature is TRIBAL. But in misconceived #NeverAgain response to Nazi abuse of German tribalism for their own evil purposes, academics demonised it. @BenjaminABoyce
It's like demonising male sexuality in response to a series of brutal rapes - a huge mistake. We need to understand human tribalism, so that we can learn to harness it for good, rather than for evil, as the Nazis did.
This is key to creating just, humane & sustainable societies.

In this context, I've heard you talk of the need for a shared reality, which we once largely had, but have lost.
When there's no shared reality, there is no coming together, & divided as we are, we (our civilisation) will surely fall - & a lot sooner than bears thinking about.
