What is The Mill Center ?
more compassionate society.
What drives us
Divisions in modern society have become a cause for concern to many people. Echo chambers and siloes have made it difficult to build bridges across ideological divides. Too many people surround themselves with ideas that affirm their beliefs by carefully selecting media, scholarship, and communities that shield them from contrasting perspectives. People are now more prone than ever to dismiss divergent ideas as wrong-headed or ill-intentioned.
But this is not how to improve society or generate new solutions to complex problems.
Developing stronger and more compassionate communities requires us to understand the perspectives and underlying logic of others’ opinions, even those with whom we disagree. It requires us to be willing and able to challenge our own deeply held beliefs. In order to build better solutions to our global challenges, we need a diversity of thought, ideas, and approaches. We need people who can think in ways that are creative, constructive, surprising, and brave.
We work to activate these kinds of thinkers.
