The technologies that were supposed to bring us together have been unwittingly dividing us and radicalizing us. Personalized content, recommender algorithms combined with the upward trend of inflammatory and hateful online content have become the great radicalizer of today. Much of the mediums and the messages are specially targeted towards youth.
At Project Pluralist we believe the first line of defense against discrimination and hate of any kind is cultivating a new mindset. A pluralist mindset— of inclusivity, equality, empathy, curiosity, kindness and collaboration. Creating a pluralist culture where everyone belongs.
