What’s Belief got to do with it?
“For some of our most important beliefs, we have no evidence at all, except that people we love and trust hold these beliefs.”
—2002 Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman
Belief is a powerful component of human nature that forms our convictions, molds our relationships and informs our behavior. These convictions provide a moral framework that guides our lives, thoughts, and hopes, and governs our societies. Our beliefs can lead us to strive for justice, equity, and inclusion, or they can manifest into harmful stereotypes, racialized beliefs, and prejudices that divide a society.
For the 2020 Tea Talks Series, together we will explore how and why we believe what we believe. Through shared stories and dialogue this series will present ideas and offer opportunities for us to examine our personal beliefs, why we form attachments to those beliefs and how they shape our world.
