Switch on the TV, stream the news, or read a newspaper, and you’re immediately drowned in name-calling, half-truths and untruths, or angrily shouted rhetoric. There’s a forest of fingers pointing in all directions, and no one is actively listening. Many voters coming of age are reluctant to vote because of bipartisan finger-pointing by people completely uninterested in hearing another side. The trauma of climate change is not being addressed fast enough to avoid cataclysms because arguments are more important than solutions. Immigrants languish in overcrowded shelters or die at the border while leaders sling anger at each other. And so it goes — we all suffer.
