by now [1], yes. but in my experience not a very popular view on HN. expect downvotes. [1] i find peter thiel's speech at libertopia in 2010 a great early reflection of that shift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgH7Lv

intrigued by this. i've spent a lot of timer over the last years with very committed nonviolence folks, and i keep wondering about the conditions for this to work. can you recommend any sources that discuss this idea?

I've spent a lot of time with people who seem themselves operating within ML Kings lineage and have their lives committed to this kind of nonviolence work, and they defintely operate from within the an "agape mindset", even t

Are there any studies out there that managed to replicate their results? Anyone aware of any they could share?

Interesting, I went a little down the rabbit hole. And it's not what I'm actually looking for. I'm looking for controlled studies with a falsifiable hypothesis and a detailed section on the study design :) I've spent som
