Okay, but I don't know that this is about abortion rights, right?
I think the way Wendy just said it was so thoughtful, right?
There are the, we all care about rights and free agency, and maybe we get into much more nuanced and complicated issues of rights of whom, right?
Free agency set by who and whom.
And likewise, if we think about kind of different decisions, I think we have to complicate what we're looking at.
One of the challenges we see in this either-or thinking is you first of all simplify, oversimplify.
These are complicated issues boiled down into one area.
You then see it divide.
There you get the trench warfares.
And then isolate.
So that's that confirmation bias.
Who are we listening to?
What are we reading?
And then finally, dehumanizing.
So that's the name calling.
We see some really vicious statements and potentially violence.
How do you reverse every single one of those?
Well, don't isolate.
Talk to people.
Listen, right?
