Humans aren’t just social — we’re ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids’ lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

“If we can tell a better story about democracy, we can tell a better story about America” #TEDTalks
Our brains are hardwired to crave community and belonging — a tribal instinct that drives politics in the United States, says political strategist Sarah Longwell.

Did she really say that building a wall doesn’t promote security? If the only people who can come inside your house need to use the front door to get in, then you have a much better chance at vetting who you allow into your home to keep yourself and family safe. Having secure borders is a great solution to the problem of millions of unknown people crossing your borders, many of which have been proven to have cartel connections, been involved in trafficking of both drugs and children, and have now murdered many Americans.

lol she didn’t say secure borders were not important. You’re missing the point entirely, which actually proves her point. Have you ever left your odor open and expected a child safety gate to keep people out? That’s about as effective as relying on a fence for border security. America is not a house.

@Koopatroop5421

@ComeWeFlyThats why a border wall was necessary. It’s not a “fence” it a massive wall that makes it impossible for people to climb over, under, or through, so there only way into the country is through the official ports of entry. The border wall would be the walls of your house and the door would be the ports of entry if you wanted to keep the analogy.

No wrong. Its elite overproduction. Creating too many educated elite without any positions to fill.
Demographic changes are due misguided immigration policy to fill for the inadequate educated elite.
This lowers the market value of labor and creates cahnces for opportunistic educated elite to take control. Aka populists.
You have a few solutions, stop mass migration, stop elite over production, or participate in this farce and begin repressing political enemies.

the crisis of democracy lies in the fact that there is no democracy. As long as the economy is run autocratically it is irrelevant who wins the next election, because they can do nothing but to divide up the crumbs that fall from the tables of the rich.
The crisis of democracy is that we are no longer fooled by your illusion of democracy and demand the real thing.

Simple answer: People are getting stupider. Stupider people are more willing to give stupider leaders more power. Stupider leaders lead to destroying programs that were set in place to keep us from being stupid because they don’t understand them (because they’re stupid). Overall, logic and reason has completely been pushed to the back.

Listens to opening question: Oh that’s easy. It’s because people who don’t really believe in democracy somehow keep ending up in charge of it and yet keep choosing to cram it down the throats of people who don’t actually want it.
Okay, go ahead

Anybody who says they have a simple solution to a complex socioeconomic or geopolitical issue is either incredibly ignorant of the issue or lying to you, and if they’re in a position where they have the power to do something about the issue, that ignorance is inexcusable and frankly unlikely to be the explanation
