The lesson addresses the concept of “epistemic tribes,” emphasizing that humans tend to group together based on shared beliefs and narratives. Membership in these tribes shapes perceptions and influences how individuals interpret reality and truth.
Identity stacking, where individuals belong to multiple epistemic tribes, further complicates interactions. When conflicts arise between identities, one will typically take precedence. This dynamic drives behaviors and may lead to distortions in how entities engage with one another.
