I think it would be smart to be prepared for potential future backlash and the pendulum swinging the other way. Look at vaping. Or Timothy Leary.
Is there a red team approach that can help ensure we don't misstep in the momentum to overturn the drug war?
- snarf21 5y agoNo, my opinion is that when things are out of whack, you can't solve them by creeping back to the "proper" line. You have to swing the pendulum hard and fast and go waaaay past where you think it should be. Then it will slowly swing back and forth until it ends where it should be.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoJust saying that vaping and Timothy Leary don't necessarily support that enthusiasm. Do you have a counter example?
- hn8788 5y agoThat assumes that there is a "correct" line. It's also been proven throughout history that your opinion has the opposite of the intended effect, women's rights are a good example. Trying to push the pendulum too hard too fast makes the people who support the status quo get very defensive and unwilling to compromise, so the situation can actually get even further from what you want.
