The one mistake to resist post-election: Good vs. evil | Amanda Ripley
“Most of us aren't sure what to think about everything, but we don't really see that modeled anywhere, right? You're supposed to know for sure, and there's very little intellectual humility on social media or on TV.” Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, Why Florida and Texas are booming (and NY and California are not) ►https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFE2V1dSaE8 In times of anxiety and uncertainty, humans tend to split the world into good and evil. It's a natural tendency, a way to feel more comfortable, says best-selling author Amanda Ripley. Today, you see it among many, many millions of people because there's a lot of anxiety about the future and fear about the present. We assume that the other side is more extreme than it is, partly because we hear so much from them. 95% of political tweets are written by around 10% of users, so we extrapolate and assume everyone on the other side thinks a certain way. This tendency, which is very understandable, to split the world into good and evil, us and them, can give us short-term comfort. It may temporarily feel good, but it causes us to make a lot of mistakes in the long term. Here's why we should avoid seeing the world in such stark divides.

Let go of labels. Transform your life. | Ryan Holiday
Don’t call yourself “a writer,” just write. Ryan Holiday on how the labels you give yourself can hold you back. Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Watch the full Perception Box series ► https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5uULy4b0kV4iomWS7CzqCdOCwj0lFnLr&si=yCY6Ee7m6bpj7E-y Who would you be without all the labels and identities you’ve collected over the course of your life? Ego, titles, and societal expectations often shape who we think we are—or who we think we should be. Author, and for simplicity's sake, bookstore owner, Ryan Holiday explains the simple question “What do you do?” can turn into a trap, making us cling to roles that don’t really define us. But what happens when you let go of these labels? What if, instead of focusing on the identity of being a writer, you focused on the act of writing itself? As Holiday got older, he learned that being busy “doing the verb” is far more valuable than obsessing over the noun. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to fit into the “right” categories and titles, but that often means copying, comparing, and losing sight of what really matters.

Living as a human in an “always on” digital world | Yuval Noah Harari
“What's happening now in the world is tension between organic animals and an inorganic digital system which is increasingly controlling and shaping the entire world.” Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, We can split the atom but not distinguish truth. Our information is failing us ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=thZUMaGEE-8 Part of existing as an “organic entity” such as a human is that we live our lives by cycles: Day, night. Winter, summer, Growth, decay. Sometimes we’re active, other times we need rest. But algorithms and computers never need rest – they are ‘on’ all the time. In a world that is becoming increasingly more digital, humans are being forced to adapt to the “always on” schedule of these systems, says @YuvalNoahHarari, the best-selling author of 'Sapiens' and ‘Nexus,’ while in conversation with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin. Adapting to these schedules has made our lives more and more public, creating a life that mirrors “one long job interview,” says Harari, as any of our actions can be chronicled and follow us around for decades. At its crux, this is destructive to how we function. Here’s how we got here, and how we can course-correct, according to the historian.
