Uncomfortable Approaches

Presented at BSidesLV 2016, Aug. 3, 2016, 2 p.m. (120 minutes)

To change the world we must first change ourselves; challenge our preconceived notions, and build new solutions. This second facilitated discussion will look at some ways we might be able to deal with the uncomfortable truths raised in the previous one. How do we resolve tensions and conflicts that exist in the things we believe to be true? After exhausting easy fixes, we must challenge ourselves to consider uncomfortable ones, even if we end up rejecting them.
