"If you want to transform another person's life, you have to transform your relationship with them." Much of the research discussed here by Dr. Hamid resonates and offers lessons for how we might get out of the toxic soup of our current political moment. Worth a listen.

Cognitive scientist @NafeesHamid studies the minds of people drawn to radical or fringe ideas. This week, he takes us on a deep dive into the motivations of people on the brink of extremism. What prompts people to turn to violence, and how can we pull them back from the seductive appeal of extremist ideas? https://t.co/hn2wmvpb2r

There are hundreds of cognitive biases, but most of them stem from a failure to recognize that our beliefs are subject to biases.

Defending our views stalls learning. Questioning them stimulates growth.

The only belief worth cherishing is the belief that you might be wrong.

Dear Christians, we are called to be extremely humble, but we've stumbled. We've made enemies of the "other" based off our distortions of them and forgotten that they are just as human as us.

Yesterday, a friend shared some beautiful scripture that's resonating with me:

💡Proverbs 9:8 – “Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.”

Thanks for reminding me to value truth even when it's hard, and to use my energies wisely

“If we can get people to see themselves as connected to all of humanity, we might be able to change the way they think about themselves. It might be the trigger we need to motivate people to work towards a common purpose.” —psychologist @jayvanbavel

@LeatherwoodTN This is exactly right. Some issues are “too urgent to move quickly.” I'm moved to share this Fall Leadership Cohort I’m working on with @Resettingtable on tools to slow down “hot take” mindset in congregations & build a better civic culture. I would love to connect & share more

[Helen Kramer @HelenMKramer]

Republican @RepTimmons: "I really like the idea of depolarizing exercises...anything we can do to get people to sit down and understand what motivates them...and you can agree on the problem." 💪
