Western values: Free-market free-exchange society (ability to have an idea, create, produce something and sell, buy, trade).
Democracy: accept when you lose and move on; pick yourself up, find a way to push through it - there is a better day ahead.
Western values: Law/jurisprudence based on logic and reason in a system with processes involving due diligence.
Government authority is not absolute, but based on the will and consent of the governed.
Western values: Upward social mobility, especially when knocked down - via opportunity and merit. Creativity, innovation, contribution, productivity. Scientific inquiry.
Civil society with a Right to realizable values.
What Values do we share that are Western? Opportunity to exist, existence of opportunity, individual and universal human rights. Privacy, private property, private relationships. Personal agency, personal autonomy, personal thought. Freedom of speech, expression, press, religion
Could we get another discussion between @GadSaad and @cynthia_farahat that can help further guide us on how to properly engage with noble people such as @Byoussef on @triggerpod ๐ Konstantin and Francis did one helluva job!
@triggerpod@Byoussef Thank you for demonstrating how to endure such a conversation. Wow... @triggerpod provided a genuine opportunity to witness the mental gymnastics from someone who does not believe in higher standard values because they stem from Western philosphy. Thank you for shining a light
@benshapiro Thank you for having the cajones to shine a light on this uncomfortable but fundamental truth about human growth and development. We have always awed at the 90 yr old still working. We might could all aim a little higher nowadays, and resolve Erikson's stages appropriately
@cynthia_farahat@meforum Congratulations on your new endeavor(s). After reading your book and watching your discussion with @GadSaad (no less than 10 times), I am really hoping a podcast that delves into the wealth of knowledge you have to share might be coming soon...? Wishing you continued success
@GadSaad One of my top 10 on this topic. I particularly enjoyed her metaphor of the gremlins' involvement in the self-regulation system. Her interview with Andrew Huberman is worth your time if you haven't considered already. Cheers!
@mitchellreports demonstrated again her calm intelligent style when responding to Sen Mike Rounds (R-SD) regarding his (recession) views being out of date. GOP (and plenty of others) must get serious about updating their knowledge and understanding from the intellgentsia
The Red River Gorge Geological Area attracts tourists eager to kayak, hike, and climb. But the local community is debating how best to develop more tourism infrastructure https://t.co/HPpatWfjTU
If a university professor now questions the very existence of "systemic racism" in Canada in a blog post students can request they may be punished very severely. Pay attention. All this is coming your way.

Dear Emergency Medicine colleagues,
When this mess is over, you can all order as many absurd CT scans as you want and I wonโt even read the indications before clicking accept.
Keep up the amazing work. You are heroes.
Letโs talk about the fact that both the attack rate and the death rate among the young is indeed very low with COVID19, unlike most prior pandemics. And letโs speculate about some of the biological reasons. 1/
I see. So the virus will mutate in 10 days and masks will finally become useful then???
Iโm sorry to report that everything crazy I say about our insane leadership class of older leaders is being confirmed.
Fire these people. Give control to younger competent folks w integrity.
