We discuss popular trends & current events with an eye to their veracity, their influence on society, and whether or not we are all liking, following, and sharing content without thinking critically.

​

Do we all make things worse, for everyone, without even thinking about it?  Are we all, as a society, thoughtlessly propagating nonsense?  ..and if we are, who benefits?

 

We all live in the same messed-up world, where often it can be difficult to figure out what (and who) is right & wrong, or if anyone or anything ever needs to be either;  can it be both?

​

We believe it can be.

​

We're here to share our thoughts and opinions, but none of it is exclusive or absolute.  We invite constructive discussion in an attempt to build a bridge across an ever-widening river of misunderstandings, confirmation bias, and echo chambers. 

​

At bashr, we believe in equity & open minds, and that all of us have the ability to think more critically & carefully, and less automatically.​  We can agree to disagree, with mutual respect.  

 

We can all, always, learn something from eachother;  together, we can replace hate with empathy.

​

And maybe we can collectively shift our focus away from arbitrary distractions, and toward a future we can all benefit from.
