What if the problems go much deeper than politics?

Think how our minds separate signal from noise, as what resonates with and synchronizes our prior stores of knowledge is naturally received as signal, while any thing discordant is rejected as noise.

Then we naturally bond to those on similar wavelengths. As well as effectively repel those with opposing polarities.

This creates a social super organism. Much as our bodies are composed of millions of cells functioning as one. As our sense of self is the varieties of desires coalescing as thought.

Then consider that as organisms, we function in those larger ecosystems. Where all that energy radiates around, effectively equalizing, as wave across infinity.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

One man's signal is another man's noise.

Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

If we only synchronize, we fall into that black hole in the center.

Which in sociological terms would be referred to as an echo chamber.

I will keep this short, because most people can only imagining patching the tears in the surface, not digging down to understand the forces tearing them apart in the first place.

Humanity has gone from mostly tribal societies to nations of millions of people in 3000 years. Which might seem like a long time in terms of individual lives, but in terms of evolution, is quite brief.

As these linear, goal seeking organisms in this cyclical, circular, reciprocal ,feedback generated reality, it's like we haven't yet internalized the implications of the earth being round, not flat.

The technology has evolved much faster than the sociology.
