What Happened to Progressivism?
- squircle 1y agoI dont abide in any particular worldview... ideology is for campers. But, this article is interesting for its discussion of cognitive framing.
- TimorousBestie 1y agoYou’re better off reading Lakoff directly than this opinionated take on one facet of his work.
- squircle 1y agoOf course. Source materials are critical. I used to be diligent about this. Way back when a friend told me I read for pleasure (this was never true, escapism at best but more likely an adaptation), which I naturally took as an affront and a challenge... The past 5 or 6 years or so I've made a conscious decision to firehose myself and study the effect on my consciousness. It has been fun and interesting to say the least but, non plus ultra.

- squircle 1y agoThis resolving to the topic of vaccines is inflammatory for sure. Medicine and science = good. Force feeding and shaming people into changing their behavior != good. Also, not science... only a very flaccid form of fascism. Some days it feels as if everyone I meet has never learned how to wrestle with paradox or exercise Yeats "negative capability." (Note: I am not an artist. Just human doing human things.)
