Americans are drawing lots of battle lines on our biggest, most controversial issues. When we struggle so much to find common ground, how can we move people on opposite sides of an argument towards solutions? NBC’s Joshua Johnson discusses how showing our complexities and sharing our whole truth can pave a pathway forward.

Everyone loves to over simplify things makes life easier but not better
Complexity science is a mind-blowing field of study
yes, it is completely cool and interesting.
There are many corporate motivational-speakers and efficiency-experts that demonize complexity.
“Music is liquid architecture; Architecture is frozen music.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you voted for Trump twice there’s something wrong with your head or your heart.
Good term and analogy using music. I try to understand my right wing friend, whose politics I find offensive, but I think he focuses on very specific instances and not really seeing the whole picture outside of Fox News and several questionable social media feeds. We get along as friends otherwise.
I use both hands…
“The Robots” is from 1978, not 2017. Kraftwerk is one of the most influential acts honored here.
David Bowie was a huge fan. And that’s says volumes. (I read about this after becoming a huge fan myself).
You can’t have a rational, fact-based conversation with the maga cult if they can’t even accept simple facts or recognize why living in their alternate reality is a problem. They are the mental equivalent of every episode of Hoarders you’ve seen.
Simple narratives are most appealing to simple minds.
Reaction videos are awesome! The world is changing because of them. Trump dumbed down the national dialogue.😘
Well said!
we are the robots…in high pitched voice ‘we are the nanobots!’
Happy to see Patton, Kraftwerk, Gil Scott-Heron in the Hall!!
BTW, the complexity is and always has been present. We just choose to ignore it.
What would life be if ever flower was the same
Ice..is frozen water….water..is ice…not frozen
Way off with the year of the Robots, but interesting stuff nonetheless.
life should be more colorfull but not a color mess and yes now a days things are to polarized and biased
Gil Scott Heron’s dad was the first black football (soccer) player for Celtic football club, all be it a short stay. He was a winger who played in his bare feet. When both father and son sadly passed away, Celtic posted very kind words. The revolution will not be televised, is an all time claaic tune.
Unfortunate that social media incentivizes simplifying and polarization, because I agree. So how do we fix this? No one has the attention span for nuance today.
