know like a you have a judge and a jury and you know they have a case and anyway what do you have good protocols so so you have to have three things you have to put your uh honest thoughts on the table um you have to go through processes that helps uh to reach the right answer depending on how serious the question is right if it's

And then number three, you have to have a way of getting past that decision and moving on. I have a basic view though, whenever there's any disagreement or anything that's not going well, stop. Okay, pause. Don't just keep banging at each other.

Just pause and sort of go above it and say, what are our, Ground rules for disagreeing. How should we be with each other? And you turn your attention rather than to the argument at hand, but say, okay, if I think this and you think this, how do we do this? And then once you agree, okay, then you go back into the argument and then you follow those protocols.

Because half of the problem is that people just don't even know how to disagree. But if you do it that way with those protocols and so on, and you get past your disagreement, it's great. I wanna talk a little bit about- I wanna answer the part two of your question. Yeah, go ahead. The greatest problem of mankind I believe. Wow. That's a big statement. The greatest problem of mankind.

And it is an exceptional problem at this moment in time is people having opinions that they're stuck on that. Um, they won't, you know, like I have to have my opinion and that's right. And so on because it prevents them from, um, resolving it, from moving forward to finding the best answer, from compromising or doing, you know.

So like everybody's arguing over everything and they, you know, it's almost like they're killing each other. And we're in a society, you know, I have another principle, which is when the causes that you're behind are more important to you and others than the system, the system is in jeopardy. So do you, are you just literally going to go fight?

So here we are, as we think, will we fight or will we have protocols for having thoughtful disagreements and getting past them?
