IMPORTANT TIMESTAMPS:
00:23 How to decide which party to vote positively
01:26 Fear & Hope
02:57 Egocentrism
03:37 Ethnocentrism
04:05 World-centrism
05:15 Cosmo-centrism
07:18 How politicians appeal people by using Ethnocentrism
Democracy is a pain because as well watching this upcoming US selection unfold it sometimes so hard to figure out what side should mean beyond there's so much negativity on Hillary so much
negativity on Trump how does one decide where to cast your boat but as confusing as democracy can sometimes be it is important to vote we can see the effects of what happens when people choose the wrong candidate or cast the wrong boat so many countries descend into chaos and anarchy because people believed a leader who made false promises or use say populism to sway a population.
For example, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela now let's look at what's happening in the US and what most recently happened in Britain with the brexit vote with all of the conflicting information coming from two opposing political parties how do you decide who to believe in who to vote for I'm going to teach you a simple failsafe algorithm that you can apply in your life when you're watching the next political debate or when you're trying to decide what party to side with this algorithm transcends what the media is saying it transcends the words of a politician and it works now the first thing you want to understand this you're going to take a piece of paper and draw a simple line that looks like this it's a simple cross on the horizontal axis of the cross you're going to add two words
fear and hope now I know what you're thinking vision you're going to tell me that I should vote for politicians who speak more of hope and less of fear no that's not it yes many people have suggested that this fear hope model works but there's a problem here when
Hillary Clinton is warning us about the dangerous impact of climate change is that fear or is that hope when Donald Trump is saying he wants to make America great again is that fear or is that hope you see fear of hope depends on your viewpoint.
Someone who doesn't believe in climate change will say Hillary is being a peer someone who cares about the planet might say she's bringing us hope showing us that we can take action to change the planet someone who's prone Trump will say Trump is bringing them hope someone who's anti-trump will talk about the fear he uses when he wants us some Mexicans or Muslims so that is a second thing you want to pay attention to and that is this axis now this axis looks something like this and what I'm going to show you is a simple scale and we can think of this scale as our relationship
to the word we now the scale comes from the famed philosopher ken wilber but many other philosophers or experts in human development have used a similar scale it's your levels of awareness regarding how big your circle of who you include in your way is now right at the bottom is what you would call the egocentric individual egocentrism is something that individuals or entire tribes of people exist that when they are only concerned with their own individual survival if you go back seven hundred thousand years ago when human beings were primarily hunter-gatherers and you came across a bison and you about to hunt that bison and another hunter came along you might find that other hunter for that bison because look if you couldn't feed your family you lose your family you don't give a damn about his family you care about yourself in your offspring that's egocentrism but as human civilization evolved we move to the next level and that next level is ethnocentrism.
Ethnocentrism is what almost seventy percent of the world
existing right now ethnocentrism is when you decide that your loyalty belongs to the people of your skin color or your religion or your nation or your political party.
Ethnocentrism is a step beyond egocentrism it's when you extend
your circle of we to a particular tribe of people but there's a problem with ethnocentrism you see egg no centrism isn't complete and in a world that's increasingly more connected more
globalized in a world where people are flowing as immigrants between different countries when you can have friends on
Facebook with people on the other side of the planet when your religion isn't the dominant religion on planet earth and no centrism is not enough and that's when people start ascending to a next
level called World centrism.
World centrism is when you can be proud to be an American or a Nigerian or a Canadian but you also recognize that there's beauty in every other country every other culture you can be a Muslim or Jew or a Hindu that you're open to exploring ideas from other religions.
