The real enemy is a mindset, not a person

Daniel Lubetzky: Why the world needs more builders — and less "us vs. them" · 21:50 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: Daniel Lubetzky argues that our tendency to view the world in binaries is a programmed flaw. He proposes a shift from tribalism toward a global community of builders focused on practical solutions.

Lubetzky, the founder of KIND Snacks, identifies the "us vs. them" mentality as a primary obstacle to progress. Rather than focusing on personal enemies, his initiative seeks to unite individuals who prioritize creation over conflict.

The goal is to replace extremism with a culture of problem-solving. By identifying as "builders," people can move past ideological divides to address global challenges through collective action.
