You reminded me of one of the more powerful for me statements, Adam Kinzinger, who is the Republican on the January 6th committee in the House to look at what happened on January 6th. He said that he's learned from his investigations that there's something that people are more scared of than death, and that's being kicked out of your tribe.

that we're such social beings, that this idea that we would be isolated and alone, that's how you have a lot of these fundamentalist religions that keep people within them, because if you deviate, you get kicked out of the tribe and they ostracize you.

Yeah, and then you have the fundamentalists of all the religions I think this is very true, that the fundamentalists of the different religions are closer to each other than they are to the mystics of their own religions.

And the mystics of the religions are closer to the people who are other religions because they see that it's all this common reality, but that we have different symbols, different stories that we tell. But it's all about this combination of us being both interconnected and also extremely individual. I think this other part is that the more you realize... how we're all essentially more similar.

I mean, look at our DNA is very similar to some animal DNA. There's very slight differences. And then when you talk about humans, so different skin color, different things, our commonalities are really more. But once you can kind of understand that, hopefully then you can be more willing to appreciate the differences.

So it's this paradoxical thing where that the more you realize we're interconnected, the more you can appreciate the unique individuality of every person.
