How to Talk Politics Well, Effectively, and Pro-Socially
Let's talk politics
Please join this very political conversation with three people at the center of politics and community (or what our grandparents might have just called "civil society"):
Daniel Golliher: founder of Maximum New York and Cities & AI Fellow at the Manhattan Institute
Priya Rose: co-founder of Fractal and FractalU, writer and expert on how to live near your friends
Andrew Rose: co-founder of Fractal and FractalU, technologist, and founding instructor of Fractal Bootcamp
✨ This event is brought to you by Maximum New York, Manhattan Institute, and Fractal Campus! ✨
The Chatham House Rule applies!
Want to have better political conversations?
Are you scared of talking politics with your enemies? How about with your friends? Have you ever been in a social setting where the whole room flinches when someone begins a remark with "not to get political, but..."? Do politics on the internet make you mad/sad/depressed? But: Do you want New York and America to be less politically polarized? Do you want politics to deliver material results? Well...
A vital component of achieving anything in politics is political conversation--precisely the thing most people are bad at. But political conversation is not a thing anyone is born doing well. It can be learned and modeled! In fact, people learn it all the time!
But how do you have productive political conversations with others that leave you both better off, increase the probability of good political outcomes, and improve our overall culture? Come listen to some people who have done it, and do it regularly.
