You know, it's, it's an affinity for the end group. It's a, it's a desire to mesh with the end group that, that operates pretty subconsciously. And we're not aware of how much it drives us.

And we, we, we kind of naively think that we have an accurate view of reality, but in fact, you know, our view of reality is conformist and, and,
The other side's view of reality is conformist, but we don't realize our own bias, so their bias looks so extreme to us that we then start to attribute all sorts of negative things to them. So, that's what I think and what I think a lot of behavioral scientists think about

the political tribalism, and then there is also tribalism ethnically and racially in the United States that has escalated in the last 10, 20 years after a long period of progress. And I think that we can explain that in terms of the us instincts, not in terms of hate. And that's an important...

because there's this enormous, you know, DEI industry that is not exclusively, but it largely makes use of bias training workshops where people are told that they have a sort of unconscious hate for the other side. And it makes people feel falsely accused. And there's a lot of evidence that it polarizes groups. It, it, it,

Yeah. Sometimes. Yes. But I think often it's, They're trying to say, what is the psychology that is driving this? And then they have different theories about, it's a funny thing because they often want to say it's an evolved psychology. And I think they're right about that, that our evolved psychology is contributing to this.
