«In an increasingly interconnected world, rising political polarization threatens social cohesion and democratic stability. Here, we demonstrate that the two trends might be fundamentally connected: Increasing social connectivity, often seen as a unifying force between people, can lead to polarization. Inspired by the physics of collective phenomena, we present a simple model that clarifies the underlying mechanisms...»

To my UK friends of the birds.
Are you a member of of supporter of the UK's Green Party?
For disclosure, I am a member of the Green Party, probably not much of a surprise to anyone. There is an opportunity with the new media 'visible' leadership team to grow the party into something substantial. I ask this question just out of interest.

What has happened in the UK?
It is illegal to protest for people in Palestine, it is illegal to sit in a road, or walk slowly, in protest of company's making money out of oil.
But it is legal to protest against people, because you don't like their colour, or where they come from.
Again in London this weekend, the racists have a legitimate protest.
How has this happened?

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayToday in Parliament Sq. Defend Our Juries organised a protest against the proscription of Palestine Action.
Amnesty International's director of campaigns, Kerry Moscogiuri, said it was 'genuinely shocking to see people being hauled from the streets of London by the police for peacefully holding up signs'... When the government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong'!
Indeed it is!

If you had put Buckley and Vidal in a magnetic resonance imaging machine and presented them with identical images, you would likely have seen differences in their brain, especially in the areas that process social and emotional information. The volume of gray matter, or neural cell bodies, making up the anterior cingulate cortex, an area that helps detect errors and resolve conflicts, tends to be larger in liberals. And the amygdala, which is important for regulating emotions and evaluating threats, is larger in conservatives."
