From Tribalism to Common Humanity: A Conversation with Dr. John Ellis 56:25

3h ago56:25

56:25

For most of recorded history, neighboring countries, tribes, and peoples everywhere in the world regarded each other with apprehension—when not outright fear and loathing.

1:07:08

We commonly think of democracy as a social order governed by the people’s collective will.
