(4,522 posts)But I'm not sure you'll get much. People would rather be angry and attack than strategic about it - rational thought will always take a back seat to emotions. Makes sense as that's what we really are: slaves to it vs the other way around.
I think we do need to think strategically though: we *will not make it* as a species - let alone a country - if we do not find a way to find common ground with people. Period.
Global challenges that will be brought on by climate change, economics, war - are looming and if we can't get our collective shit together the resulting dark ages will be hideous. Feeling smug and righteous (EITHER side) is going to doom us all and fear, hate, distrust, etc will be ACTIVELY pushed by a lot of people with vested inserts hoping to capitalize on disasters.
