To better understand what is at stake and why this video takes us in the wrong direction, I recommend reading Thomas Sowell's excellent book, A Conflict of Visions. Remember, it was the Catholics who stood up to Hitler...not the Marxist socialists.
This is good. Most of us in the west tend to ignore the effects of situations--we just think of "character", and blame people's faults on their innate incompetencies or whatever, rather than looking for environmental/contextual explanations.
the tweet that got me here, "If men are from Mars and women Venus, why are sex differences so fragile?"
This video, of course, is frightening to anyone who has studied the history of totalitarian movements. When we neglect personality and character...bad things happen...
@johndrew25 I think just the opposite. Underestimating the power of context is what lead to many totalitarian movements. Charismatic dictators capitalize upon a nation's most widely spread insecurities and converting individuals into angry mobs. Before long everyone believes that what they are doing is right or just simply because they think everyone else is doing it. The powerful individuals with personality and character are the ones who manipulate the school of angry fish.
Fascinating! I think you're on to something here. I'll check it out.

I tend to help people if I see someone that need help but I really have to take a deep breath and make a conscious effort to make me go over there...
Sounds like a very interesting book :3
