The Space Between Two Worlds If you’re awake and alive in the 21st century, with even an ounce of empathy, your heart and mind are going to be torn asunder. I’m sorry…

These are trying times.

I wish I knew what to say to my friends, colleagues, and family members to make them feel better.

In the end, I come back to something I wrote a few years ago. Maybe it will help others?

Selecting Out of “Politics”: The Self-Fulfilling Role of Conflict Expectation Selecting Out of “Politics”: The Self-Fulfilling Role of Conflict Expectation By Eric Groenendyk, University of Memphis; Yanna Krupnikov, University of Michigan; John Barry Ryan, University of Michigan; Elizabeth C. Connors, University of South Carolina. In recent decades, the term “politics” has become almost synonymous with conflict. Results from eight studies show that individuals averse to conflict tend to select out of surveys and discussions explicitly labeled as “political.” This suggests that the inferences researchers draw from “political” surveys, as well as the impressions average Americans draw from explicitly “political” discussions, will be systematically biased toward conflict.
