Just Human? is a community centred around this website. Like most people, we want to make the world a better place, and this will only happen if we - and many other people - work to make this happen.
But we recognize that there are many different (and sometimes contradictory) ideas about what needs to happen. There is no point in talking about these things with people who agree with us: the only way we can make real progress is if we talk about the questions which matter to us with people who don't already agree - and who may strongly disagree.
We don't enjoy disagreement; we want to come to a place where everybody agrees on the important things we need to do. But the only way to get there is to disagree well: to seek to understand one another, and discover what we can learn from each other.
The pages in this Introduction section of the site should tell you everything you need to know about us, about what we are seeking to do, and what we would expect of you if you decide to join us.
