Wisdom Tree Forum™ OC invites you to discuss "How to escape the cynicism trap" (The link for the video is embedded in the text. Watching video is optional but recommended).

Some of the aspects of the video that will guide our discussion are as follows :

  • Psychology of Distrust: How does the transition from experiencing humanity in person to experiencing it "mostly through screens" contribute to the development of cynical views?
  • Misperceptions about others: How does the lack of interaction between people with opposing views create a "feedback loop" that reinforces extreme stereotypes?
  • Growth & Challenge: What are the potential obstacles a "recovering cynic" might face when trying to change their perspective?
  • Societal Implications: If authoritarians benefit from a population that "doesn't trust itself," what strategies might they use to encourage cynicism among citizens?

Pint-Sized Perspective is an event series by Wisdom Tree Forum™, where we will be visiting breweries, restaurants, bars and similar places to discuss thought provoking topic over a beverage.
