@Radical_EgoCom Just stop debating with people in general. Especially on social media, which has never been a good place for discussions. People use social media to advertise their viewpoints and complaints, only expecting applause and understanding in return.

Fluvial System Block Diagrams
--
I was looking to understand a fluvial system the other day, up in the high Arctic, as I looked at 3DEP remote sensed elevation data… I have always been fascinated by the how geology, water, weather shapes a landscape, including erosion (aka geomorphology if you will) – and realized how very much value fluvial block diagrams have as we try to conceptualise what has, is and will happen(ed.)

Manu – Humans are Complex
From Manu on Identity.

It’s also why I find broad group definitions so annoying. Lumping together potentially billions of people using arbitrary traits as the dividing line is such a lazy way to look at the richness of human diversity and experience. Every time I see people using one of these definitions—in a serious way that is—I immediately start to lose

"Doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason never has a snowball-in-hell chance of being the right thing!" = Futurist Jim Carroll

It takes a lot to piss off Canadians.

Suffice it to say, a sleeping giant woke up from the snow, looked around, and didn't like what it saw. Lots of folks don't understand the depth of pride and identity that is embedded deep into the soul of our nation. They don't understand the visceral depth of anger that most Canadians feel right now.

Ponder that word: visceral.

There will be a lot of information in the days, months, weeks (years?) to come. I'll be working hard to temper my comments, moderate my opinions, and manage my emotions. This will be tough. I will note that my next keynote will be for the Texas farming and agricultural industry.

Anyway, there is a lot to think about and a lot to share. A good starting point is to appreciate that yes, this is a zero-sum game. There will be losers, and there will be losers. There are no winners, except for those who wish to see the destruction of a century of global trade based on mutual trust and respect.

The big issue is - what is the pathway out? That's complicated. 
The best I can offer you is this insight, being shared online, by one Prof. David Honig of Indiana University. 

Read the last line.

It's in my post today.

If you are left leaning, try to have a conversation with a conservative right winger using logic to back your arguments.

It is better to try and have a conversation rather than argue over differing opinions. You can change someone’s entire ideology using your words.

Having people who understand is so important.

"Because most people are not highly sensitive, they simply don’t understand what it’s like to get very stressed out by, say, a startling noise, a busy weekend, or a violent scene in a movie. Not everyone will understand, and that’s okay. But what an HSP needs is at least a few people — preferably the people closest to them — to 'get' their sensitivity. Someone who not only gets it, but helps protect them from overstimulation ('Yes, it’s perfectly okay that we leave the party now. I can see all over your face that you’re overstimulated.'). And, someone who sees all the wonderful gifts that come with this rare trait."
