aspragg@astronomerritt This reminds me a lot of Tim Urban's "Instant Gratification Monkey" - not sure if that sounds familiar:

(There are follow-up posts and a TED talk linked in the post if that one grabs you)
b҉"And the point of the book isn’t that you should never be mad at the health care industry — it’s that the house’s liberal nonviolent tools have historically been the most effective way to fix things. Granted, I’m sure people who hate the health industry are saying, “Where’s the change? We’ve been trying and it’s still awful.” And that may be true. But when you use political violence, what you’re doing is you’re trying to fix something in the house while smashing through one of the house’s support beams. And if you keep doing that, now someone else will assassinate someone on your side, and before you know it, it’s the road to hell."
This Tim Urban guy comes off as remarkably obtuse about a lot of things in this interview, not least of which is the regular everyday political violence perpetrated by the health insurance business. The fact that it happens at industrial scale and fattens the wallets of the CEOs doesn't make it less deadly to millions of victims of such political violence. This mentality tends to render political violence against working class people invisible (and therefore approves of it) but condemns them if they ever fight back.

Peter Hanecak"This book is my best crack at explaining what I think is an existential risk to liberal societies and what I think we need to do to get to that awesome #future I used to be so excited about. There are dozens of concepts in the book that serve as a kind of toolbox for understanding our societies, our group dynamics, and our own minds. I’m very proud of the final product and never want to have an experience like this again."

I was thinking about my adult children through the lens of Tim Urban's famous blog post, The Tail End. It reminded me that I'm on the flip side of his statement about his parents. Now I'm the parent with kids that live away from home. In many ways I'm on the tail end of my relationship with them (having already spent 90% of the time I'

@Randywestfall I am looking for idea-lab mindsets overhere, not echo-chambers. I would classify your reaction as a setup for an echo-chamber. You're still invited yo the idea-lab
