    This is one of the most complete representation of the most relevant aspects of Vlad Vexler's thinking (as per my limited understanding after having been a listener to Vlad's channel for 2 years). Thank you, and congratulations on a very, very well conducted interview where you did not only let Vlad shine, but also actively contributed with what and how you conversed.

      Yeah, this is a topic I REALLY want to hear more about from Vlad. As far as I can see here in the U.S., Semmelweis Effect has hit Covid levels of spread. An ever growing percentage of the population simply will not accept any information that doesn't fit their narrative on the topic in question. And so many of such people spout utter word salad with amazing levels of conviction. Time after time I've watched people I'd think would know better just fall for the garbage hook, line, and sinker.

    I agree with 90% of what Vlad says, where I diverge is on US politics. The US ship-of state has left the snug harbor and hit the ocean swell. Not only that, the US has entered the squall-line as of January 6, 2021. And now, with two attempts on a US presidential candidates' life in two months, (13 July and yesterday, 15 September) the US is clearly in more than just bumpy water.

      Then allow me to give you some perspective. We have had assassinations succeed against our presidents in the past and had many attempts in between. There is nothing new here. Only one other time has there been an attempt at the overthrowing by force of the Union, the rebellion put down by Lincoln that would have seen the very humanity of one group denied so as to continue the economic ways of another.

    I don't hear it almost at all so I'm very happy to hear Vlad touch on the point that both US presidential candidates have been and are accusing the other as being a threat to democracy and that this behavior is toxic. I'm SO profoundly frustrated with my American politics because for the last ten years, that's been the primary fear mongering tactic employed during presidential campaigns. It has absolutely been true (because trump IS a grave threat to our democracy) but much like reality TV has desensitized everyone to cartoonish behavior and wild antics, everyone has also been desensitized to this very real danger. The few people who are legitimately taking this seriously are being ignored or downplayed because everyone they're shouting it to aren't listening anymore, they've heard it all before many, many times now. We've shot the cannon indoors and now can't hear the danger closing in on us.

      There've always been people like this. Growing up it seemed to me about ten percent of the population. It seemed to start climbing very, very slowly in the early 2000's. Then about 2015 or so it just exploded. In the late 80's I worked on a group home for people with psychiatric issues. Behavior that would have warranted a next day appt with the psychiatrist is now a regular feature of Congress. Inexplicably, it spreads like a disease. My mother and sister used to be rational adults. By the time they cut me off for not travelling six hours for a family function when I'd just had open heart surgery, the y both acted like they had TBI. y

    We tend to choose facts that are in line to how we would like things to be. That is why I think it is important to pay attention to arguments that are based on alternate facts, to those facts that we intentionally discard or do not notice. This concerns specially arguments in economy or banking and finance. However, these days the term 'alternate facts' is demonised in our media.

  • @danwylie-sears1134
    @danwylie-sears1134 2 місяці тому +1

    With the level of polarization in the US in recent decades, it's hard to imagine my political opponent on one issue today being my political ally on another issue tomorrow. In a unitary system with winner-take-all plurality elections, you get one vote: it's for the party. Don't want anti-abortion absolutism, but do want the tax burden further shifted off the rich and onto the middle class and poor? Too bad: you have to take one package deal or the other. And without anything tangible at stake, people make their peace with that.
    The key part of that is what's not mentioned in Duverger's Law: a unitary system. We used to have very significant state and local politics. There was even a saying (associated with Tip O'Neill), "all politics is local". Now, it's implicitly taken for granted that all politics is national. If you support a primary challenge, even in a safe district or a one-party state, you're seen as diverting resources that should have been spent on a general election in a swing state or a swing district.
    I think one of the major roots of the change is modern finance. Formerly, people who wanted "expansionary monetary policy" (i.e. some unexpected inflation, so that you can make your debt payments for less than your creditors bargained for) were stuck on the opposite side of a major issue from people who wanted "prudent monetary policy" (i.e. a higher risk of deflationary crash, but your debtors have to pay you more than they bargained for). People with lots of money at stake as creditors or borrowers were stuck on opposite sides of that issue, no matter how little they might align on any other issue. So factions within each major party were stuck disagreeing. With modern finance, anyone with enough money can hedge against inflation risk, and anyone with enough money can seek a higher return by taking the opposite side of that deal. So they're free to align on the basis of other issues.

    I worked 10 years as a party member voluntarily in politics and as a profession for now nearly 30 years. And I have to say, that I see a fundamentaly political crisis in my country. The hybrid information warfare of Russia is one thing, but even without that interference my take on actual professional politicians is, that the quality has dramaticly shrunk. Often I see member of parliament who think it is enough to post about a political problem on social media instead of working consequently to solve the problem. In my reception of my work as a lobbyist for now 10 years, the number of members of parliament who don't realy want to form or shape the things to make them better, they just want to administer the things. And yes those kind of politicians had been always in parliaments but - as I said - I think those numbers have getting worse. Apart from politicians from the far right or the far left, I don't see ill intend, but incompetence. Next year we have elections and I don't know what to vote... those parties in the democratic center are all awfull at where they stand today.
    For me the Internet and the social media have killed our democracies but I admit, that could be a correlation and not a causality.

      You are GER as i am. Interesting post. I am no member of any political party and cannot judge abt the quality of politicians. Still it seems to me that there is a big gap bw federal politicians and the electorate in GER. The far left/right have a huge advantage in teh soc media age. Populist statements are much easier to sell on the Internet. The AfD even shapes the emotions of a broader part of the voters via soc media. They constantly badmouth the democratic parties. (Die Ampel ist ein Desaster). It's very easy and very childish / immature to constantly be negative and moan. The afD position themselves as if they could be the saviors of Germany. Unfortunately, many voters are falling for this strategy. Incidentally, this was also the strategy that brought Hitler to power. If you look at the reality, GER was much worse off 25 y back (Der kranke Mann Europas). The Ampel is not a disaster. The disaster is that the AfD/BSW appeals to and exploits the lower instincts like hate or greed of a part of the electorate. I´m a teacher. Believe me, i know how to manipulate feelings.

    What I don't get is how Vlad can say that we need to pursuade everybody before enacting an all but objectively necessary policy. If a large minority refuses to agree that climate change is an extreme threat to our society - tough luck - we need to and will implement climate change mitigating policy, whether you want to or not! Because we have to. Same with immigration. A modern country simply cannot function properly without immigration (you see what happens to countries with negative or stagnant population growth) and so, whether the uninformed or misinformed voter likes it or not - we will let people into the country. If you are going to be a child about some of the most important political decisions humanity is facing, then your opinions don't deserve respect. I'm sorry! We don't let people who refuse to understand traffic rules drive cars and we cannot let people who refuse to understand political issues decide our policies.

    I think Covid ate up many people's life time allotment of patience for dealing with people holding beliefs that break laws of physics.

    I respect Vlad but I'd take issue with his terming of the situation as Democracy is in crisis, as if it's a natural consequence of the system. Well its in crisis, but largely due to the actions of the kremlin in concert with the far right, since 2014.

      They merely exploit weaknesses we already have.

    Vlad's description of "post truth" seems to just describe information containing too much noise. The excess of noise is specific to today's information space, so it is worth asking if the "post truth" politician is in fact a product of today's information space or if there exist other important factors to today problem of "post truth" in the west.

    Of six siblings two remaining adults are Liberals and two are Fundamentalist Christians with the typical related U.S. voting patterns. You can say, “I care about you” but because of fundamentalist Christian beliefs you find no basis for reaching compromise or understanding as to religious belief’s role in the current election. This is the extreme danger in this election.

    When you think about what a person is doing, it would be ridiculous to think about it in terms of electrochemical gradients causing ions to move through channels, and binding of motor proteins to actin filaments causing the shapes of dendrites to change, and so on, quadrillions of times over each second. You have to move away from a causal description and say that this person did what they did in order to accomplish some purpose, if you're going to have any hope of understanding it. It's a good idea to also have some notion of how it works causally, but you can't use the causal account as the primary way you think about it. When you multiply it by three hundred million, or by eight billion if you're talking about the whole world, the causal approach doesn't get any easier.

    What one thinks is a result of how one thinks. One’s world view is built upon a foundation of sensory information, arranged to best represent reality. Assumptions based on biased, scant or irrational evidence, will likely result in a distorted perception of reality.
