I believe this is the driving motivation behind 'attachment parenting' (what a weird term) and general movements to rely on personal knowledge.
- IntronExon 9y agoPersonal knowledge is the source of these issues; it’s a fallacy that we’re some kind of wise and insightful creature which is only led astray in groups. Tribes, cults, and the misinformation they produce are just the result of our collectivized fantasies about ourselves and our environment. At least as a group we can start to produce something which can be tested.
