    Today we talk about beliefs, the increased polarity of them in recent years, and some of the causes of that polarization. We’ll discuss how this applies to politics, religion, and UFOs.

    We’ll also talk about the benefits of tribalism, how those benefits become liabilities under the wrong leader and on scale, and how to puncture the filter bubble.
