Really enjoyed this conversation with @bopsource on hope and hypocrisy in public life and why hypocrisy can sometimes be a good thing. Was fun to discuss my own personal evolution from when I was a anti-war activist in college till the present day. https://t.co/oueAb7OYKO

Haven’t listened yet but the quote alone obviously resonates.
“the average person’s beliefs are a social signal, not a deep philosophical stance. The reason they get so angry when challenged is because the belief was never based on logic. It’s not about ideas; it’s about group membership.” https://t.co/7Hqk376kbS

Interesting and nuanced argument from @shadihamid’s new book on the morally aspirational utility of performance
In my new @TIME essay adapted from my book 'The Case For American Power,' I argue in defense of hypocrisy as necessary for a moral life. To be seen as hypocritical is the cost of trying to be better than you actually are. And that's a good thing. https://t.co/Wp0dFdLJwI

A few days ago, I posted a brief statement of what I, as a conservative, seek to conserve. The first item on the list was what I regard as the foundational principle of all sound morality: the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each and every member of the human family.

“Groupthink disables your ability to think for yourself.” Trust Your Mind by Jenara Nerenberg might be the most relevant book today. It’s about what happens when we silence ourselves to stay safe. This isn’t just a book—it’s a mirror.
