Americans need to stop taking “sides” & start building bridges

Our division is our weakness

We can’t keep calling each other names & waging ad hom attacks.

We are capable of cooperating across tribes...

We desperately need to learn to empathize with each other

#teamhuman
When you have the same end goal (less deaths) start there.

If you disagree on how to achieve, much can be accomplished, cooperatively, by empathizing with the destination & not attaching to the route.

We must value learning new information more than we value “being right.”
“If you can’t recite a counter-argument without calling people bad or dumb, you should be dubious of your modeling.”

When we empathize with someone, we don’t “hate” them & can cultivate the compassion to seek their perspective & include their signal in our overall understanding.
We’re ALL guilty of confirmation bias.

We’re polarized over a compromised information ecology instead of uniting to curate reliable & credible info to inform our decisions.

This should be a cooperative, human effort, not a trickle-down, divided, censored information vacuum.
Anyone projecting certainty right now is living in an illusion.

This is an experiment, & that’s not a bad thing, but if we cannot transparently discuss what we learn as we go?

We are taking an unprecedented gamble with human life.
“Conspiracy is the emergent property of the incentive dynamics”

We’ve built a misaligned incentive structure.

Our leaders, regulators & institutions are compromised, our sovereignty & agency is not.
Being human is hard. We ALL fuck it up.

Radical honesty + radical accountability + radical compassion are the recipe to unity.

We must create safe containers for ppl to take accountability.

Cancel culture must be canceled & we must shift to incentivize accountability.
We must stop looking at our leaders as parents & emancipate ourselves from their agendas.

Information is being weaponized.

We must become aware of our biases, see thru narrative warfare, & cultivate the empathy required to cooperatively protect collective interest.
It starts with ourselves

Grant yourself some grace

Humans are flawed, ALL of us

Let’s own that & stop shaming & canceling other ppl for fucking it up

We all want less deaths & more honesty

None of us know what’s going on

We’re not getting the truth

Let’s start there
We can hear the agenda in the conspiracy messaging & we can hear the agenda in the official narrative

The sides are waving diff flags, but they are on the same team

Agenda is the true enemy

Let’s double down on our own agency & join together as #teamhuman

#incentivizetruth
I know it’s hard... we are addicted to polarization

Research the neurochemistry of belonging & oxytocin’s role in furthering tribalism

They are playing on our neurological vulnerabilities to divide us

It’s working

It’s up to us to evolve past it & take our power back ❤️
In my short Twitter experience, long unity tweets are far less popular than quick-witted insults...

I still have faith

Our independence is at stake & our interdependence is our only hope.

Pinning & unrolling. When I figure out how tf to do that.

I ❤️ you
