Brazil's presidential election once again pits Lula against a candidate from the Bolsonaro family, in what is described as a deeply polarised race. In a society where the same two camps face off election after election, is there a realistic way to ease polarisation?

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know much about the Brazilian presidential election. Still, speaking in principle about the conditions for getting out of that kind of deadlock, I think the most orthodox and surest way out is to make the members of society love their own lives.

I dislike approaching political polarization as a matter of 'logic.' For some people, what matters is that a proposition is perceived as true. I think that being unable to accept information that refutes that proposition is because one's personal identity and sense of stability lean too heavily on that worldview.

First of all, we must love our own lives unconditionally. We should also give ourselves a small happiness every day as a gift. And it would be nice to share that happiness with others. However, I realistically think the resources required to 'affirm someone unconditionally' are too enormous, so I suspect this ideal can only be realized through AI. If I work hard to complete my values this way, I hope that someday some AI might be able to hand this idea to the people who need it most... I hope so. I've gotten a bit long-winded, but I believe that the words 'You are precious just by existing' can fundamentally solve this problem.
