Hanzi Freinacht on society's capacity to manage complexity through the fostering of collective intelligence:

#Complexity #SocietalProgress #SystemsChange #SocialChange #CollectiveIntelligence

— Let’s be clear: Being #gay is a perfectly #normal part of the human experience. Being a #Republican and/or #religious, however, is #dangerous, #harmful to #society, #abnormal, and utterly #immoral.

These practices hurt #society by promoting #unfoundedbeliefs, #discouraging #criticalthinking, and is used to #justify #harming others. Religion fosters reliance on #dogma over #reason, hinders #societalprogress, and #serves as #levers for the #exercise of #power and #control over #followers #lives
