The political arena has become very polarized lately.
In conversations with opposing camps, whether far right or far left, there's no attempt to understand the other side.
The idea that what you know is true and the other person's logic is wrong.
You seem to treat politics with one-sided faith
This phenomenon seems to have intensified as technology such as YouTube and social media has made it easier for people to acquire information about what they are interested in and enjoy.
In the past, when there was no YouTube, you could get information about both sides from the news on the airwaves, but nowadays, you can only get biased information through private media rather than the airwaves, and I wonder if the current situation is even more serious.
One camp will never be right all the time.
How can we live in a world of acceptance, understanding, and togetherness?
I very much agree with your point that new media such as YouTube provide information that was not available in the past, but algorithms are leading to more narrow-minded views,
What drives us as a species is called "conviction," where we become convinced of something.
When that belief becomes so entrenched, it can lead to aggression toward those who think differently.
It's happening over and over again in society, and we're becoming very isolated from each other.
ThePumasi.com Putting questions over beliefs on this website seems to be the answer to this.
Because if you see the world as a clouded mirror, it won't change no matter how much you try to change it, but if you clean the mirror and the windows of your mind, the world will start to look different.
This chaos requires flexible thinking.
We sincerely hope that our little flap of wings on this website will create a big wind in the world and bring peace.
Thank you for your question.
It's a thought-provoking article. If we all had the same mindset as Remy, there would be a lot less confusion. If even a little bit of this kind of thinking spreads, it would be a society that understands each other.
I think it's important to recognize differences and listen. Everyone has different ideas, and I think that's what life is all about 😁 It's a never-ending process.
Respecting the other person is the beginning of accepting our differences. I feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life working on myself.
I agree with you, how warm it is to be listened to lol.
While it's true that in the past there was a higher percentage of moderates, nowadays there's probably a higher percentage of polarized sides because there's a lot more information available to bolster their arguments, but I think there's a lot of moderates out there. They're not really on either side of the fence, they don't feel the need to step up, they're just quietly going about their business, just like you guys here.
I think the definition of a respectful world varies from person to person. If you let go of the extremes, you are at peace. If you feel uncomfortable with something, you may already be a little biased toward one side or the other...
There is no perfection, so I think it's important to constantly think about it and try not to tilt.
I was impressed by the part about feeling uncomfortable with yourself may already be a little biased toward one side or the other. Thank you.
