    Looking for bridges in views about the second Trump administration. I'm currently aware of four views:

    • This is the worst thing ever, I'm terrified
    • This is the best thing ever, I'm thrilled
    • I don't pay attention to politics, so far my life feels exactly the same
    • Some of the changes seem pretty cool so far, but we'll see

    Where are the middle grounds? I want to know how to build bridges in my personal connections when politics comes up these days.

    No sweetie. I'm explaining mass majority versus  one-offs. 

    I can't help that you're too obtuse to understand that.

    No other choice. If it is indeed wrong to say out loud that I do not trust Jews anymore, then that will just have to be something I learn to live with like I do genocide, ethnic cleansing, pedophilia and the deliberate murder of world central kitchen and other aid workers. Israel is a savage and degenerate ally, a child killing lying thieving nation state , a menace to all of humanity and friend to no one...Especially Americans!

    Yes, you were. I used the PLA because the governmental entity in Gaza is Hamas. As soon as the conflict tamped down somewhat, Hamas went back to killing Palestinians at will, some ostensibly for collusion others just to force compliance.  The Oct....

    I would use the same conflict management principles as I would here in the US - dialogue, deliberation, and appeal to the high authority of the United Nations.   Your argument does not justify the death and destruction to the victims in Gaza....

    Engage or Enrage. It is likely that we have family members or friends that we differ with greatly when it comes to politics, healthcare, etc.  I am no different.  When the inevitable hot topic arises, do you recommend flight or fight, engage or enrage?  How do you respond when this occurs?

    Dealing with family when politics have become so extreme and polarizing is extremely difficult. It is important to remember that most of our beliefs are actually pretty similar. After all, we all just want the ability to live a nice life....

    What are today's radical Second Enlightenment/Renaissance Dangerous Ideas? Once upon a time, in a continent now known as Europe, radical thinkers gathered in private homes to discuss radical ideas for the world. Through countless discussions, debates, and writings, they envisioned the future that we now live in.

    At the time, these ideas were radical and could easily lead to death and exile. Thus, why they needed to gather in private.

    Some of these ideas included

    - Downfall of royalty and nobility, allowance for "public" to vote for their government
    - God as not a personal deity that's interfering on a daily basis and favoring some over others
    - Belief that each person should be able to dictate their own spiritual life
    - Allowing "free" markets to dictate what's developed versus central command
    - Equality before the law, a universal set of laws should equally apply to everyone regardless of background

    And more. Of course we can debate on how the ideals fell short of reality. Or how a lot of these ideas actually have earlier origins in Christianity and so on and so forth.

    But, my Q is what are the radical ideas of the future, now?

    So much of the current discourse is around trying to return to where we were in the 1990s/2000s or earlier. Rarely, has anyone really shared a big visoin of the future. Closest is some transhumanist dream of merging with AI and creating some sort of multiplanetary cyborg future. 

    Some wide suggestions:

    - We need a world government with real power in order to solve coordination problems of the global scale.

    - We should have one monetary dominant currency that's based on crypto

    - All assets (physical or digital) should be backed with a crypto so we can easily track its ownership as well as give gradient rights like renting access

    - Separation of Church & State was a interim step that doesn't ultimately work. Need a universal church that allows for multiplicity of local contextual religions that's integrated with State & Marketplace.

    - Everyone should have the right to end their life 

    - Everyone should have basic universal income

    - All land should be on a lease basis that defaults back to commons after death of leaser. Renewal is possible but not guaranteed.

    - Voting should be mandatory (it is in AUS)

    - Education funding should be equally applied rather than local property tax basis.

    - Alcohol should be heavily taxed, weed should be heavily taxed, other psychedelics should be legalized

    - Any company that takes in public funding should have to give away partial ownership shares back to commons

    - A social trust score should be assigned to everyone. Everyone can review you. You cannot see your own score. Others can only see your score if you give them access.

    - Owning large property w/o using it or doing conservation should be heavily taxed

    - More services should be offered on a net worth basis rather than fixed cost.

    - You should be allowed to pay 0 taxes but then you lose access to all public services (ER, police, fire, protection in foreign countries, extra fined for highway access) and you're listed on a database as such so others can charge/discount people on that basis

    That’s a fair point, and I agree that repetition is how ideas take hold over time. Where I draw the line is context. Logic and data work best when the nervous system is calm, not when people are defending identity or tribe....

    i love this question, and I think it's a tricky one. On the one hand, enrage almost never goes somewhere I actually want to go. It just deepens the divide. On the other hand, i deeply value being able to connect on differing opinions, I think it's how we grow....

    Gentlemen, Do you want to fight ideas you feel are dangerous/wrong or engage them? Fighting comes from judgement? Resist the impulse to judge until you have engaged and attempted understanding. Well, that's the primer version....

    Thank you for being appreciative. I sometimes think that we are much to prepared for any question, or request that we question/examine something, is perceived as (a prelude to) an attack rather than a (perhaps older) employment as an invitation to dialogue....
