Just caught up with Alexander Payne to break down a key sequence from Sideways. 🍷📷 If it’s been a while since you’ve seen it, it’s worth another look. 📷dga.org/news/guild-new… @directorsguild @searchlightpics

@Sen_JoeManchin @JonHaidt Thanks for the support, Senator! And for modeling healthy disagreement.

Couldn’t agree more with @JonHaidt — comedy is a powerful tool for cutting through division, and it’s exciting to see this film get the recognition it deserves. Bravo @iamRobFeld!

@civichealthproj The film is starting its campus tour now! See how it can help your group or classroom engage each other better jestersandfools.com/host-a-screeni…

Our nation’s civic health depends on whether we can still see one another’s humanity. Jonathan Haidt’s praise for Jesters and Fools underscores why this film matters: comedy can open doors to dialogue when everything else feels shut. Learn more About the Film: jestersandfools.com

@Sen_JoeManchin @Beyonce Who cares who started it? The question is, Who's going to END it? Sometimes comedians say it best. More at jestersandfools.com

WATCH: Where have we gone wrong as a country that Jay-Z and @Beyonce can’t meet with the Trump family on an issue near and dear to them without people trying to cancel them? It used to be guilty by association — now it’s guilty by conversation. Having dialog with one another — especially with those we disagree with — used to be an honorable thing. Everyone — regardless of political party — should want to work with the administration on issues that matter to all Americans, including immigration and criminal justice reform. You can’t bring good ideas to the table if you never come to the table in the first place. Read more about the lost art of conversation in my new book, DEAD CENTER: In Defense of Common Sense.

I want to prove to you what a fool’s errand it is to try to connect nuts who commit political murder to the “other side.”

@RealTimers @billmaher Who cares who started it? The question has to be, Who's going to stop it? Sometimes comedians say it best! More at jestersandfools.com

Charlie Kirk and Jimmy Kimmel prove America is broken…

Violence or condoning violence only confirms for those who disagree with you that your POV is something to be feared. And so goes the cycle. As always, @iamcolinquinn sees it all. Get more of his wisdom and bring it to your class or org at jestersandfools.com @BuildersMvt

@DrSimonCullen @SwayBeta So excited for the collaboration, Simon!

@iamRobFeld’s Jesters and Fools is touring now! Apart from being funny and deeply thought-provoking, it incorporates AI-facilitated, one-on-one student chats using @SwayBeta — making this an awesome activity for first-year orientations!

@PresidentsForum @Robfeld Thank you! We're very excited to have so much support from such great places!

Shoutout to @RobFeld for Jesters and Fools: a reminder that humor can cut through polarization. In higher ed, polarization prevents progress. To better serve students, we have to rise above it. presidentsforum.org/wp-content/upl…

@JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Sharing the teaser but find more at jestersandfools.com/newstudent

Just watched the hilarious film Jesters and Fools. It’s a reminder why comedy matters in a divided country. The film is touring campuses with @HdxAcademy and Sway AI, showing how humor bridges divides. Bring it to your school by hosting a screening: jestersandfools.com/host-a-screeni…

@thinkofacard @JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Also here!

@JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Is there a trailer?

@thinkofacard @JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Yes! It can be seen at jestersandfools.com

@GlennDoyle74 @JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Thanks for watching! Yes, we created a facilitators guide with HxA and have partnered with swaybeta.ai to help guide constructive conversations. We have brought comedians to campuses and arranged for panel discussions. Reach out here! jestersandfools.com/newstudent

@JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Watched it this morning. Good content for my undergrads returning next month. Is there a longer version or any accompanying material for screenings ?

@JonHaidt @HdxAcademy Thank you so much, Jon! Your work has inspired so much of what we’re trying to do with Jesters and Fools—using comedy as a way to bridge divides and spark conversations we all need right now. Grateful for your support and excited to see this mission reach more campuses.

@prohuman_org Looking forward to it!

Next Thursday, June 26: We screen and discuss "Jesters and Fools," a short film by Prohuman Foundation advisor @iamRobFeld. Both funny and illuminating, Feld draws on the wit and wisdom of Colin Quinn and other comedians, as well as the work of Duke University Polarization Lab founder @chris_bail, to make the case that America is less polarized than mass media would suggest. Register for the event here, us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… And join the Prohuman Book Club for more events like this: bookclubs.com/prohuman-found…

I was honored to present Jesters and Fools at the @LibertyMuseum preview event for their latest exhibition. Grateful to have shared this experience with friends from @TheFIREorg and @HdxAcademy, celebrating an initiative that fosters open dialogue. #LetsTalk #JestersAndFools
