Adam Grant is well known to many. He has some excellent books and podcasts on effective communication in a society where beliefs and opinions will always be diverse i.e., A nuanced approach to a nuanced group.
This is obviously not and easy task but it is literally a vital one. If we continue to compete as a species, seeing only zero sum outcomes, at some point our species will fail. That point will be well short of our potential and will be a direct result of our own choices.
At some point, we must not only be intelligent, we must choose to act intelligently, as many wise minds have noted over millennia.
Craig. I'm a huge Adam Grant fan. Of his own work and of the Next BIg Idea Club of which he is a cofounder. I don't think Cave cites Gran'ts work (I did not check out every footone/reference), but he does draw heavily on others at Penn, including Martin Seligmanand Angela Duckworth. Thanks for the comment. It helps me think through my own writing and political work.
Thanks Pooja. I had forgotten that line. Grammatically, "love" is an easier verb. No easier to do in real life than peacing or communitying. But we can use a whole lot more of all three.

bell hooks taught us that love is a verb. In that spirit, I’m here to believe in community as a verb, too.
