This is probably too complex for Americans..But...

Since its an Oxford professor who is a specialist outside my field I have dug in a couple of times and done my best to follow it. Without understanding the science I feel a rightness to it. (However as the video points out, that itself may be a flaw in me. Which is why I stick to the money) But I put it here for those who want to see. Warning.. It is a little slow...😷

I watched it all the way through and found it very interesting. As I think you suspected, it's not going to change anyone's mind, but it does give a take on why it's difficult for some people to even begin to understand another point of view. Our own biases are usually invisible to us. Watching something like this does give some help in trying to stand outside and be objective.

I liked the points towards the end analysing the traits of 'right' and 'left' and then explaining the need for better communication all round.

I won't be signing up though: he makes my brain hurt. 🥴

@FreddieUK
The responses have confirmed some of the points made. Indeed I think most Americans cant see is cloearly, because they are inside the goldfish bowl and therefore they see themselves as the "normal". Not that normal represents right or wrong.. Its a numbers game. And with 320 million against 8 billion, they dont have them..😷
