Offering a perspective of hope and unity, Danny Goldberg and Raghu Markus explore morality, polarization, and how negative media drives collective anxiety.

This time on Mindrolling, Raghu and Danny discuss:

The uproar surrounding the brutal beating of Rodney King by the L.A. police
Seeing history as the study of change, and looking into how history impacts our lives today
How the human condition largely remains the same century after century
The inner conflict between morals: choosing what is right vs. what feels safe
Building bridges by connecting over universal human values instead of polarizing politics
Healing our felt sense of separation by remembering that we are all interconnected
Those who feel they are losing power when others make progress
The seduction of negative news media and how it feeds collective anxiety and division
Finding perspective by remembering that every era faces troubling times

Check out the article Culture, Empathy and Resistance by Danny Goldberg and the book NEXUS by Yuval Noah Harari

“People always say to me, ‘It’s never been this way’. That’s just absolutely not true. We had slavery in this country. Women couldn't vote until 1920. Homosexuality, you could still go to jail up until the 60s for it. The AIDS epidemic during the Reagan period. Not to mention human history, the Crusades, and the Holocaust. There have been many, many dreadful times.’” – Danny Goldberg
