Social Thinkers
7. Massively Parallel Roles & Tasks
Social Thinkers look for better ways of understanding and managing tensions and synergies between ideologically, racially, and socially diverse elements of society. They help us answer questions such as: Why is America always divided 50-50? What makes life meaningful? Is the meritocracy good or bad? How did identity become so central to our politics? How can we balance equality and diversity? Can elites really pursue grassroots social justice? What are the limits of humanism? How is technology changing the structure of the communities in which we live? Do revolutions produce positive change? What paths to depolarization are available? Why are debates about "rights" so toxic? Other examples are shared below.
