Ch 12 - The Separation Pressure Mindset

from Mapping New Common Ground Hosted by The Story Forces Project

In this episode, Jed introduces the Separation Pressure Mindset, the fourth connection mindset that illuminates how a particular force that pushes on us from within can push us physically away from those we disagree with, despite our intentions. Then, Jed shows how the four forces described so far can together provide simple answers to many confounding questions: * Why is it so hard to live harmoniously? * Why is it so hard for people to have reasoned debates? * How can intelligent people come to believe ludicrous things? * Why people can be impervious to evidence that disproves their position? * How can good people come to commit atrocities?
