Key Insights
-
Polarization is an energetic phenomenon of being which occurs in the space between us, in our relationships. It’s visceral.
-
Polarization is also a survival mechanism from the brain to ensure the survival of the being or anything the being considers itself to be.
-
Linear thinking is the root problem of polarization.
-
People are trying to find their belonging, their tribe.
-
The present moment is the only place where you can have
an impact on polarization. Since it doesn't last, you have to
do it again and again (it's a practice).
-
The world consists in an infinite number of possibilities
that do not exist until you ask the question. In polarization,
possibilities are not explored because we don’t ask the
question.

The Root Cause: Polarization
What’s happening
Polarization reflects a growing divide in perspectives and a loss of shared understanding across social, organizational, and institutional contexts.
Impact of the challenge
Its effects include reduced trust, heightened fear, limited dialogue, and weakened collaboration, making alignment and collective progress increasingly difficult.
What sustains the challenge
This dynamic is reinforced by media incentives, social and political structures, identity based biases, and systems that amplify extremes over nuance.
