@clayroutledge @Chris_arnade nails this problem without realizing it in his book Dignity.

Haidt, Murray, Sowell, and Herman also nail it.

It’s WEIRD vs Holistic all the way down.
@clayroutledge @Chris_arnade Here’s Arnade, stating the problem in a nutshell.

WEIRD culture values intellect, education, credentials, achievement.

Others value family, neighborhood, community, place, home.
@clayroutledge @Chris_arnade WEIRD culture is Charles Murray’s “Cognitive Elite” who live “Super Zips.”

It’s Arnade’s “Front Row.”

It’s Sowell’s “Unconstrained Vision.”

It’s Herman’s Platonic rationalism.

It’s Haidt’s WEIRD morality (excerpts from The Righteous Mind).
@clayroutledge @Chris_arnade We know the worst problems of wokism happen at the most selective schools? What do they select for? WEIRDness.

And @HdxAcademy seems to think it can fix the problem within a population (academia) AFTER that population has already been aggressively selected FOR the problem.
