i took Castaneda as a warning of the suggestibility of the human mind .
new evidence has been coming up, on occasion, through time.

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

A new book revisits the mainstream credulity that greeted the charlatan Carlos Castaneda 50 years ago. It was an early sign of a feature of intellectual life that never ceases to amaze me: The bedrock conviction (perpetually supported by evidence) that the universe obeys physical laws, with no miracles, magic, souls, spirits, ESP, divine providence, karma, & all the rest, is in fact a niche belief among elite intellectuals. Those insisting on it may be despised as scientistic, reductionist, materialist, soulless "new atheists." In fact naturalism is the morally enlightened world view, because it directs our attention to human flourishing and the actions we can take to enhance it. | The Huckster Shaman Who Founded a Cult https://t.co/mPu0jyqEJm

V-Dem's Electoral Democracy Index is informative: The US has undeniably declined in democracy (.73 on a 0-1 scale, vs .91 in 2013 and .79 during the Bicentennial) but still no where near being an autocracy, and far freer than most of the world. https://t.co/Z4ql4fcQ6v

This Mamdani-style anti-American chic that gets gushing reviews from self-hating upper class neurotics is just a revived late-sixties/early 70s fad that was boring and stupid then, and still is now
