Utilizing Civic Processes to Design Technology for Social Cohesion

Groups like Braver Angels and Search for Common Ground engage in facilitated conversations to promote social cohesion among people with different perspectives. The new Social Cohesion and Technology Council aims to incorporate lessons from conflict mediation and building shared reality into technology design. The goal is to reshape human nature by encouraging bridge-building interactions on platforms like Facebook, challenging the assumption that conflict is inherent in human nature.
