Is the way we engage on social media eroding our ability to connect meaningfully with others? Learn about Mentalization, the process through which we understand and interpret mental states, and learn how its deficiencies are linked to conditions like borderline personality disorder and autism spectrum disorders. We explore how social media platforms, driven by algorithms, can erode interpersonal maturity and foster hostility. Join us as we propose a mentalization-based approach for healthier and more civil discussions across political divides, especially in the context of the upcoming Vice Presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz, where presentation and public perception are crucial.

As we look at the contrasting personas of Vance and Walz , we unravel the public's skepticism towards both candidates in the 2024 election. Reflecting on societal fatigue from constant political discord, we emphasize the need to seek verifiable truths and engage with a diverse range of perspectives. By focusing on the rational middle ground in American public discourse, we can move beyond peak discord and foster reasoned debate and common ground.
