What are the values?

And from there, it becomes a real conversation rather than this fight of who's right and who's wrong.

And I can't believe that you would want to kill these people and you don't care about these rights.

It's like, well, at the end of the day, we don't even know what we're fighting about because I haven't asked you why that's important to you.

Why are your views on this, that, and the other?

What does that mean to you?

I'm actually curious about what that is and do those things align.

You can have similar values and, oh God, I should put on the thing.

You can have similar values at the heart of it and it can look quite different as far as who you're voting for and what you believe.

I told myself I would never speak on politics.

I think we're all becoming more egocentric.

It's almost like arrested development.

Children by nature are egocentric because there's no way that their little brains can conceptualize anything beyond just them and their need to survive fundamentally, right?

And so then ideally you grow up and you can ascertain the stability of the world and whatever you go on to form an identity and a sense of self.

If you get stuck at a more egocentric age or in a more egocentric phase, everything is about you.

Everything is a reflection of you.

Your needs are the most important thing.

people who have different opinions or values or feelings, all the things wrong because it is me and I am I and the center of the world.

I'm being hyperbolic, but I think that we have a really difficult time, both men and women, really looking outside of ourselves without losing ourselves.

Are you familiar with the term differentiation?
