" ... Boyd seemed exceptionally insightful and brave within the evangelical tent. His criticisms didn’t flow from an outsider or liberal point of view; they derived from his moral certainty that a truly Biblical lifestyle would transcend the passions of conventional partisanship and tribalism. If the Kingdom of Heaven was real, it wouldn’t so thoroughly overlap with the platform of any earthly party. ... "
" ... Human beings still tend to be tribal. We are warm to those within our tribe and cooler to those outside it. The current political landscape is all the proof of this that one needs. And that hard-wired tribalism accounts for some of our bigotry: we react with caution to those who look different from us in some way. We shy from The Other, instinctively. But not for long, because people are also naturally gregarious and compassionate. But racism, the actual belief in the superiority or inferiority based on ethnically inherited characteristics is taught. It’s cultural. Which means we can unlearn it. ... "
" ... In looking over my reports from the turn of the century (and, yes, that phrase does make me feel old!), I’m struck not just by how much has changed but also by how much hasn’t. Back then, I wrote about “new thrift”—people’s obsession with scoring good deals. Nearly 20 years on, the focus is at least as much on owning a good deal less. I talked about “new tribalism,” people cocooning at home and creating “families” out of friends. In 2019, we’re still cocooning, but its nature is far different—with our homes no longer so much places to shelter from the outside world as command centers to which we have the world’s entertainment offerings and local delicacies delivered on demand. Some things have changed hardly at all, including the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and ever-more-rigid lines drawn between “us” and “them.” And that’s really the difference between fads and trends. Trends have staying power, even when we’d prefer they didn’t. ... "
" ... Leadership in this new era of personalization will push us to start over again. The “one way” of standardization stands in our way, suppressing all aspects of personalization: inclusion, individual contribution, and methods that define who we are. Standardization may give us a sense of belonging, but its tribalism stifles our humanity, especially towards anyone we perceive as “not me,” or rather “not us.” It’s time to let go of the artificial hope that a single-minded devotion to one person, one group, or one way of thinking about and doing things can solve the lack of dignity all around us. We continue to disappoint and defeat ourselves through false hopes and expectations. It’s time to stop fighting each other to reclaim our status and start embracing the messiness of understanding and including others who may not share our points of view so we can find significance in what we contribute. ...

" ... What should be clear is that the energy transition is more than a change in technology. It is a transformation of culture, business and politics that starts at the individual level—with your actions and mine. It cannot succeed without a revitalization of community, shared purpose and common facts. If we overcome our tribalism, we should be able to avoid a societal crash. We could be well on our way to a more inclusive society and major progress on the energy transition. ... "
