Rather than restate what we have been hearing, our focus here is on the logic of diversity from a governance standpoint - why blind-spots are self-destructive and the embrace of diversity is so enriching.
Talking points:
- Pluralism and truth
- Neoliberalism and consumerist monocultures
- Roots of logic of diversity in need for resilience
- Tribal societies and settled societies
- Diversity of capitalist model - Co-ops and Quakers
- Global monetary system as de facto governor
- Unity in diversity - not liking someone is less important than burning to death
- It's a value - the richness of pluralist societies
- Leadership, certainty and diversity of perspectives
- Humility: disconfirmation of beliefs as the root of all wisdom
- Diversity in forms of feedback (language, media etc - vs truth as such)
- Monoculture in Chinese politics centred on fear of the leader = pandemic
- ...and culture of target-setting
- Liberty, Equality, Fraternity - and Swiss National Service
- ...as a way of escaping our media bubbles
- ...and developing network of consensus on eg. climate action
- Listening to people you don't like
