“The ancestor of every action is a thought.” - Emerson
Absolutely right, but what action? What has brought us to the brink of dictatorship, to 40+ years of a cold but deadly civil war? What (among many) is the greatest single threat to our posterity? The measurements of global climate that point to impending disasters are as evidence-based as the COVID death toll. Why are not taking sufficient action? How can we explain an FBI-reported flare in hate crimes? Hamas is currently taking actions and what can we expert to come of them, for anyone? Why did several educated, European civil societies fall into the thrall of fascism? Why do we celebrate the fourth of July?
Ideas and even specific language profoundly influence our understandings which underlie our choices, and our choices along with varying circumstances, determine our fate.
“In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.” - Lincoln
Is that true? What explains the rise and fall of Joe McCarthy? What explains the cult of Trump today?
