Our innate tribal mentality causes us to be protective of our beliefs and ideals, sometimes so much than what's typically expected. But noble as this mindset may be, it can be pretty dangerous if used against us - which is what the news nowadays is actually doing. Rodney Flowers dissects this topic with author Peter Montoya, who highlights the major takeaways of his book, The Second Civil War. Peter explains how news outlets spark public outrage and division by pumping fear and hatred nonstop. As a result, humans revert to their tribal-like personalities, throwing repetitive talking points at each other that become worthless over time. Peter also talks about driving change to today's society by going back to our default settings, embracing anxieties and tapping into our survival instincts.
