First and foremost, thank you to everyone who contributes to our discussion groups. It’s such a privilege to be with you all and serve you and Armin. This group is an opportunity for us to learn ourselves and viewpoints better, to bounce ideas and questions off one another and debate in a very special way. We are very fortunate!! I would like to propose an experiment, if you’ll indulge me! In the furtherance of understanding myself, I sought out ways to uncover my personal biases and understand what political categories I more strongly align with as I grow in my understanding of the world. I found two really neat quizzes that I want to request you consider taking! One is via a program called “Clear Thinking . Org” and it is a political bias test. The second (to be done in this order for best results) is a pew research quiz to find which political typology group you actually align with most. There is a group quiz option, but I thought I would present the links to you directly, and ask that you do them privately. It is less about the group knowing what your results are, and more about us growing as individuals and sharing what we learned about ourselves in the process. My hope is that we grow closer together and are more equipped to view politics and political discussion moving forward, when we have stripped away what we think we know/identify with, and reveal our most true alignments and intentions. Quiz 1- https://programs.clearerthinking.org/political_bias_test.html Quiz 2- https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/quiz/political-typology/ *** Edit to add: We have seen how the IRGC and their proxies use emotions, misinformation and our own biases in the west to not only divide us, but to also manipulate us. Understanding ourselves better, and identifying those biases goes a long way to stripling them of the power they have over us! This is about so much more than knowing ones self, but protecting what we truly hold valuable and staying grounded and effective!! 💕💪🏼 ***
