    Stepping Back to Move Forward

    On this episode of BMU, the guys explore the interconnectionsbetween our identities within and investments in community and our relationships with our friends. In an expansion of their TEDx Conversation, “Communal Change from the Inside Out,” they identify March 2020 as an inflection point for our understanding of how to be together and be present for and with each other. The conversation emphasizes our collective need to commit to the maintenance of our intimate relationships through good practice with people we aren’t close to. They also highlight the hard work of rejecting false peace and fleeting convenience in favor of lasting peace through honesty. “They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.” BMU TEDx from October 2024: “Communal Change from the Inside Out”
