DISAGREE

Yesterday, I watched the live BBC stream as the world waited for Trump, the first former president of the USA to be indicted in a court of law.

As the crowds both pro & anti gathered outside the court, one banner caught my eye, held by an elder, a black male, who calls himself Truth Conductor that simply said STOP HATING EACH OTHER BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE.

He & his banner are right. Many of us seem to have forgotten how healthy disagreement is, how democracy & in fact humanity is built on our ability to find connection, wisdom & shared values despite our disagreements. Many of us have forgotten to let love for our fellow humans rise above hate.

The message is especially critical in a post-technocratic world, where AI, machine learning & technology is evolving faster than any governments, laws or organisations could possibly manage let alone moderate.

So, the responsibility is on us, humans, all of us, to learn to love our disagreements, to see the joy in our differences, to develop diversity & inclusion for all opinions & to stop the hate & embrace the love.
