Understanding Information Over Division
The key issue in societal divisions is not the people involved but the manipulation of information networks that shape perceptions. Individuals often perceive others as enemies due to misleading narratives rather than inherent differences. Recognizing that the true problem lies in the information we consume allows us to focus on root causes rather than scapegoating individuals. By understanding the control over these information flows, we can better address issues impacting democracy and relationships. The hope is that with access to better knowledge about the power of information, constructive actions can emerge. Ultimately, most people are inherently good, but poor information leads to poor decisions, shifting the blame from individuals to the systems that inform them.
