I just finished “High Conflict” by Amanda Ripley and oh man, was it very timely for me to read. If you are struggling with the increase in political polarization in legacy media and online I would highly recommend reading! 🧵 www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...

Ended up reading "Animal Farm" by George Orwell this weekend. Even though it's about the Russian revolution I was still able to notice themes and ideas prevalent today. Would recommend as a good historical and classical read. www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... #booksky 💙📚

Reading this NYT opinion piece on Russia allegedly having a nuclear satellite killer in orbit. I don't think it's happening soon but I'm just left thinking that this is just ANOTHER way WW3 would set humanity back centuries. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

- If a story you’ve been told is too simple and avoids complexity then it is not representing the whole truth. Conflicts are always messy and contain an array of opinions.

- The incentive structure for large scale systems and organizations needs to be set up to discourage binary thinking. Ultimately having multiple sides to conflict results in more common ground.

My main take aways: - Having conflict is unavoidable and is what makes humans great. Our ability to form identity groups with millions of others is unprecedented in the animal kingdom. In dire situations having a singular enemy is actually unifying.

- There are always conflict entrepreneurs; Those who stoke the flames for their own benefit. It’s important to always sniff them out and avoid engaging with them.

Ripley does a fantastic job explaining how conflict arises, the good and bad kinds and how to pull yourself out when you eventually fall into it. She describes High Conflict, a form of conflict filled with high emotions, zero sum thinking, and dehumanization.

Totally agree with this sentiment. Cars and related infrastructure is terribly un-dense. A line of 10 cars turning at a light is on average $450k and holds 15 people 😭

My biggest gripe with X is that inflammatory content is promoted because it engages more users. On Bluesky there is no monetization yet so I was hoping things would be more civil here. Instead I am finding the same amount of polarizing content which is not helpful in resolving conflict. Anyone else?

@bsky.app is there something wrong with Feeds? Many of the ones recommended to me have no posts even if they have thousands of likes.
