Things we need to be Serious and Committed about
- Living a good life for all. How do we live our life well?
- Sit in the discomfort (go and talk to the odd/crazy person and dig beyond your judgement of them
- Find the relatability/empathy of bridging the gap between you and that other person
- People are angry (#metoo, class, terrorism)
- We all want to be seen
- Dare to be angry. Dare to be politically incorrect. But be prepared to eat humble pie
- Get out of the screaming angry mess we are in
- There needs to be a “death” of some sort for people to be earnest
- People don’t talk —> we need to talk
- How do we talk?
- Finding playful ways of being serious
- Forms and systems of Oppression
- Find authentic connections
- Distinguish between earnest, sincere, authentic
- Look at American Politics: What is true? What is fact?
- Authenticity: Acting out your sincerity
