This is a must watch episode that gives actionable solutions to our current conflict problems. Are we heading for a second civil war? Is the media manipulating us, if so why and how? Can we trust our political leaders who say they’ll fix these problems for us? What are goals that will unite us rather than divide us right now? These questions and more are asked and solutions are provided where possible. Learn how confirmation bias, framing bis, availability heuristic and other powerful social and psychological models are being used to keep us at war and what we can do about it to stop it.
Realistic Conflict Theory is a ploy being used against us by aggravators. How exploiting our weaknesses and In-group bias is being used to divide us, win political elections, fulfill agendas, and reduce our influence to manage our nations government and communities at home.
