Solutions for the Underaffiliated

Just when we need more civility, the left and right attack humanity's lessons!

Why are the left and right crushing the humanities when religious leaders wanted to use them to teach kids to be better citizens?
We spoke with Jeremy Philips, a humanities instructor, who explains why the humanities makes democracies stronger. Meanwhile the left and right crush lessons about being human with their agendas for individual rights and profit, which just lead to incivility. Not working.

A hopeful alternative to toxic politics for the good of our democratic republic.

The path to a collaborative government and civil society is to listen, speak our mind, and accept that we can disagree and still work together.
Braver Angels www.braverangels.org, teaches politicians and regular folks to listen and respond in productive ways to build back a society that isn't sucked into social and national media's hyper-inflammatory speech.
We spoke with three regional leaders, representing the left, right, and independents. They all got along. They are building a path for the health of humanity. 

Angry White Men are not Patriots | How a community took on high rent | AI tells how to get along

Angry White Men are not Patriots and their energy turned to good: They are sad folks who are afraid that the government -- and women -- have marginalized them, so they must fight back. Meanwhile the left is the party that supports their wealth and opportunity.
How a community took on high rents: Unaffordable rent is common across the United States. Check out what one small community is doing to be to cut down evictions and improve the quality of life.
AI tells how to get along; I was fed up so Googled how we can we get along. AI gave a sadly simple set of actions. Folks, we need to get it together.

How to run to, not from, life / Don't judge: Everyone loves conspiracies but let's love them less / What makes success? You. Learn how

-- Whether it's a job, a relationship or a government, let's run to a future, not from a past. Here's a five-point approach to figuring out what's next for you.
 
-- We are all open to conspiracy theories. No judgment. But let's use facts and experts to help navigate the myths, hopes, dreams and facts.
 
-- What makes someone successful? Talent? Resources? a love for something you can't resist? Maybe all, but there's a price for each.

Let's remember civility along with those who died for our nation

— Memorial Day is about dying for the United States. It’s not about glory or even patriotism. Sometimes it’s dying to do something that has nothing to do with a justice or freedom. It’s just as important to remember that people died to protect our principles as it is to remember that some of those principles are flawed.
— Americans know that our politicians are uncivil. We know we are uncivil. Withdrawing is leaving the worst to do the talking. They are … loudly. Yes, it's like the end of Rome. Listen and learn how to do something about it.

Fix critical thinking on social media / The Government report options traders depend on / Is RepresentUs legit?

— You know social media is about making you feel or want something. That means truth is had to find. Demand facts and standards
— Stock option traders use information from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to make millions? The NOAA has been warning us about climate change for YEARS. If options traders believe the NOAA, we probably should too.
— RepresentUs says it’s going to help save us from political corruption. Hard to say. I have no affiliation with them, but want to stop corruption. Maybe you do to. Check em out if so.

Tik Tok's value in a poisoned media sea — women are more productive — who would you be

— Social and national media is a poisoned ocean of messages to make you want something or be outraged. Tik Tok can make us aware of the funny and the shady. We need to do a better job not believing all we see and hear and use facts, not talking heads on TV or TikTok, to decide for ourselves.
— Lots of research about how men and women work differently. Peek: Women spend more time talking, but are still more productive than men.
— Unhappy with your life and/or career? Who would you be instead? Maybe it’s time to become a new you.

Religion down, Spirituality Up / Legalizing Mushrooms / DEI works, Don't dump it

— Fewer of us affiliate with a religion. That seems to mean more people are practicing spirituality — or nothing. That means politicians are going to have to communicate differently and neither side is getting it right.
— Wish shrooms were legal? It’s gonna be a journey, but Marijuana’s path may tell you what to expect. 
— YES! The terrifying diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs have flaws, but folks they deliver positive results and executives think they help profits. It’s not about woke” It’s good business.

Stop blaming anti-vax Women / Pros and Cons of AI making your playlist / The dark side of manifesting

— There are good reasons anti-vax white moms reject vaccines. Stop blaming them and focus on fixing the healthcare system that shaped their beliefs.
— Artificial Intelligence (AI) shapes our music tastes. No more DJs or kids at school who discover all the new bands.  Is that OK?
— Manifesting our preferred destinies is all the rage. But it has a dark side that turn a blind eye to the needy you should know about.
