Freedoms of Thought in a Polarized World: How The Need to be Right Undermines Freedom
Session Description:
In this polarized world, our freedom of thought gets infringed upon by the sometimes extreme need for people to be right. It is one thing to be right and it’s quite another to force one’s views, opinions, and thoughts on others. This is seen as a form of mental, emotional, and sometimes physical violence. This session engages participants in a discussion around freedom of thought. It also provides tools for participants to examine their own egoic need to be right. All of this with the goal to expand respect and freedom of thought in our world.
