    Win-Win Should Be Our Goal, Our Strategy, and Our Clear Commitment to Each Other

    It is actually entirely possible to create a world of inter group interactions where we all win — but that world of multiple wins will only happen if we make that our goal and then do what we need to do in each setting to make it happen.

    We Need To Work Together To Create and Protect Peace In America

    We need to avoid going down the paths into ugly, evil, dysfunctional, damaging, and dangerous instinctive intergroup behaviors that will lure us far too easily into their highly seductive pathways if we do not understand exactly what they are and why they tend to have very real power over our thoughts, emotions, values, and behaviors.

    To be fully successful, we need to include all of us. We need everyone who wants that future to be able to join in making it happen.

    Tribal Behaviors Could Destroy Us As A Nation Or They Can Give Us A Path To Peace

    Our instincts to divide the world into Us and Them have the power to do serious damage to us all — because we think and act very differently about people when those instincts are in gear in our minds and our groups.

    Peace In Our Time

    When we look at the possible sets of outcomes that we can have in inter group interactions, we know from long experience that there are three sets of possible outcomes available to us in inter group settings.

    We Can't Build True Peace in America if We Keep Putting So Many Minority Americans In Jail

    We imprison far too many minority Americans. We imprison more people than any country in the world. Hispanic Americans are three times more likely to go to jail than White Americans. African Americans are actually six times more likely to go to jail than White Americans.  

    We put far too many people in jail in this country, and far too many of the people we imprison come from our minority groups.

    We Need Win-Win Commitments To Achieve And Preserve InterGroup Peace In America

    We have deep-seated intergroup anger in many settings in America.

    We have groups of people in a number of settings who feel a sense of having been damaged by other groups of people.

    The InterGroup issues that exist between groups of people in America are real and they are measurable.

    We Need Faith Groups and Science to Work Together to Create Peace

    We have reached the point where it is increasingly clear to some people of Faith that quantum physics, quantum biology, and quantum socio biology are all tool kits that were given to us all as intentional and explicit gifts, and is increasingly clear that we need to use those gifts to keep us from damaging each other in all of the ways that can far too easily happen if we allow our worst tribal instincts to create our agendas, thoughts, emotions, values and behaviors as individuals and as groups.

    Personal Accountability Is The Key To Enlightened Behaviors

    We have instincts to be maternal, paternal, territorial, hierarchical, and tribal that all influence our thoughts, behaviors, emotions, inter personal and inter group interactions, and cultural realities in every setting.

    The usual pattern for the world we live in is that we have a basic instinct that guides each of the major areas of our lives, and we then invent cultures to give us a functional tool to use to achieve each instinct in each setting.
