Doesn't matter whether it's something big or small, personal or societal, get's a lot of attention or little. What is something you personally find important and care about?

Every problem stems from roughly half the population fearing the idea of people and practices that are different from their own. It feels like addressing any other problem is palliative. There has to be a way to improve this.

Our prejudices tend to be hard earned, life beats them into us and that makes it difficult to acknowledge that the other side is somewhat correct even if they are wrong in most every way. The extremists have bits of truth in their views; their failing is that they use those bits of truth to validate their extremism, the fault of the rest is in using extremism to invalidate those bits of truth.

A lost cause for the most part, communication. Seems like most of what passes for communication these days is one way; what can I get out of it? how can I use this? do I agree or disagree? do I like this? what does this say about me? etc? etc? etc?. These days, people love to blame this sort of narcissism on the internet but things were not much different in the 80s, it was just easier to believe there was something better, we still had our ignorance.
