I think one of my recurring questions re: the BLM stuff, is that support for what's going on is obviously coming from some deep lack of interest in truth or rigorous analysis. Is this a new thing, or has it always been there and is now just showing up?

Is it excess? We're a very rich nation and even if you're below the poverty line in the US you're still richer than a big chunk of the world population. Does the general security take away the close need for having thinking methods that actually result in success?

But e.g., Scandinavian countries, which seem to be pretty rich, don't seem to be equivalently insane. Maybe the smaller size and relative homogeneity helps prevent internal conflict that serves as a seed for this sort of thing?

As a zoomer a lot of my peers value "justice" over anything else so it's easy to spin isolated occurances that take place over a huge country into a narrative that confirms your priors on people being racist etc

Definitely social media. So many people are incentivized to create viral ideologies, and some stick. Social media also rewards fast&emotional reasoning over slow&rational. And it's a global phenomenon.

Can you give some examples of where you are seeing “bad thinking”? Not at all what I’ve observed.
