With the latest conflict escalations between Israel and Palestine; Colombia; Tigray region, how are we consuming and reacting to the international news cycle? What is war journalism and how it affects our emotional and ideological connection to some conflicts/people/religions and not so much others? 

In this new exploration we engage in a full conversation on the Post-Truth Era: Why is there so much pressure to use specific words to name the crimes that are not being recognized by "Others" worldwide? How constructive, restrictive, hostile or able our family/education/work/national environments are that we take it "against" people on what we think they should do or should have done? Are we really free if our speech is conditioned by political "correctness"? Are we mirrors (projecting, externalizing) or jurors of that which we easily can condemn?  Are we showing international solidarity by recognizing/naming the reality interpreted by/for/against one/some/all sides?

How many grids can we take part in and for how long? Are we dehumanizing ourselves in the researching process without questioning ‘who is it for?’ and whether it should be a ‘living’ or ‘lifeless’ experience at how high the cost?
