Are the After Skool people trying to educate us away from totalitarianism? If so, is education an effective antidote?
I think that education is an effective antidote, if we can get people to listen and watch. After Skool does a good job of helping people to do that. The range of videos they have made is impressive.
Thank you. I’ve watched it. Tell us what you think Mad Man. These are all guys I’ve spent some time studying.
I think that Jonathan Haidt is making a case for the decline, and it is a process that is incredibly stupid because things have been getting better. But the fact that factionalism is going on, we are risking the benefits of improvements. We are lacking the ability to find truth and losing the ability to stand together to solve problems.
I’ve already expressed what I think for the past two pages… many, if not all of my points, were repeated in this discussion.
I thought perhaps if the source were different the points might land or at least be heard and responded to.
Curiously, whatever their differences are, all three have roots in the study of evolutionary psychology and all three find themselves in the middle of that ever narrowing road where constructive dialogue is still possible.
