@KenGardner11 He doesn’t align 100% with mainstream left wing establishment thinking so fragile people feel scared and want nothing to do with him.

@michaeljknowles Conservatives lose over time for lack of a principled stand for freedom. For example.

@EdLatimore True but most are dealing with unresolved traumatic responses, not trauma itself.

@Mark_Sisson And ingenuity. I thank you for it.

@SalomeSibonex An effect of their conception of their inner selves, real or (likely, essentially) imagined.

@ariarmstrong Agree in theory, but whether police are consistently making reasonable or unreasonable demands is an empirical issue. Your comment presupposes generalized unreasonableness. Sensationalized, rare (and often hazy) examples of unreasonableness are not proof of a general conclusion.

@yaronbrook @YouTube Inspiring episode

@PaulMDomenick Nice tweet. I do think the toxic label is spread a little too liberally. There are toxic people and difficult people. It’s an important life skill to deal with difficult people. If you write off difficult people too easily, it’s more about your own fragility than self defense.

One of the most tragic mistakes people make is thinking that the world is zero-sum when it's not.

@ColemanMulkerin It’s interesting that he attacked the exact Objectivist premise of selfishness as virtue. I doubt that’s coincidental.

@donswriting Psychologically many people are stuck as “men” or “women”, not expanding their identity to “person who is a man or woman”. A person recognizes and can appreciate similarities btwn the sexes (and differences). If one won’t see commonalities, they’ll feel alienated from the other.

@aynrandcentre @andyswoop I’m enjoying it 👍

If so, you’re draining their energy (and yours), and their turning away is a justifiable act of psychological self defense.

But repression leads to errors in rational *cognition* and creates the impression that if disagreement is accompanied by strong emotion, the other side merely needs “cognitive empathy” to see that “I’m right”

That’s a psychological effect of repression that impairs many intelligent people from rooting out errors in their thinking.

@aynrandcentre Great clip

[Andrew Shorr @Andrew_Shorr]

@complete_intel @SethLevine2 @TonyNashNerd Good discussion. Very informative.

@yaronbrook John Mackey says he doesn’t want to debate what self interest means but the fact that he thinks that self interest is opposed to caring about others means that is a debate that needs to be had.
