Understanding Conflict and Empathy in Relation to Brain Science

Neuroscientist David Eagleman discusses the innate human drive towards in-group and out-group distinctions, creating a tribalistic mindset. Despite cultural differences, all human brains function similarly. Brains prioritize in-groups, leading to less empathy for out-groups. Neuroscience experiments highlight this bias, showing brains caring more for in-group pain. This lack of empathy for out-groups contributes to ongoing global conflicts.
