Us vs Them: Who Are "They?"

Anytime there's a contentious topic or discussion, people often say "They always do that!" | "They are wrong!" | Of course they'll believe in those BS stuff."

They question is, who are "they?"

Questions to ponder:

• Are people tribalistic by nature?
• Is tribalism something that can be deprogramed overtime?
• What are somethings that get you up in arms?
• Are people being too politically polarized or just a version of tribalism?
• Do you see "camps" of people in every conversation?
• Who do we mean when we say "they" are the problem?
• Can you think of an example when you caught yourself playing the tribal game?
• Why do people love echo chambers?
• Why is it so hard to break out of echo chambers?
• Do you find comfort inside a group that supports your ideology? Why or why not?
• How should we face those that are not like us?

Come and join us tonight and talk about who are "they"

Guidelines:

• Hand raises are required.
• There will be a 3 minute timer for every person. However, in this group, I do allow a brief back and fourth interjection from others if it's something that's related to the person who was just speaking. This is a way to prevent the group from feeling too "robotic" in style and get your pressing question asked to the speaker and get the answer right away without waiting all the way back to your turn again.
• Be authentic & civil!
• Please refrain from using Ad Hominem (personal) attacks. This includes in voice, in meeting chat, and in the comments section below. Instead, please attack the points from others. Severe Ad Hominem such as racist behavior will result in being removed from the meeting.
• Zoom link is posted well before the day of the meeting but you will not be able to join until 10 minutes before the meeting start time.
