And when it comes, again, to Ukraine and Russia, I don't think that if you somehow manage to get Putin and Zelensky to the same room, when everybody knows that they are there and they'll have a moment of empathy or human connection, I don't think it can happen like that. I do hope that there are other spaces. where somebody like Putin can still have a real human conversation.

It is possible. I would say more generally about conversations is it goes back a little to what I said earlier about the Marxist view of history. One of the problematic things I see today in many academic circles is that people focus too much on power. They think that the whole of history or the whole of politics is just a power structure. It's just struggle about power.

Now, if you think that the whole of history and the whole of politics is only power, then there is no room for conversation. Because if what you have is a struggle between different powerful interests, there is no point talking. The only thing that changes it is fighting. My view is that, no, it's not all about power structures. It's not all about power dynamics.

Underneath the power structure, there are stories. Stories in human minds. And this is great news. If it's true, this is good news because unlike power that can only be changed through fighting, stories can sometimes, it's not easy, but sometimes stories can be changed through talking. And that's the hope.

I think, you know, in everything from couple therapy to nation therapy, if you think it's power therapy, it's all about power, there is no place for conversation.
