I urge everyone to read this: https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/wokeness-and-myth-on-campus … I have been trying to get at this drawing on @MatthewdAncona & the example of Jordan Peterson's popularity & the concept of metamodernism but Alan Jacobs' use of Kołakowski's technological & mythical cores really clarifies.
I recommend Righteous Minds for this. It will only work if the person wants to know what is true. It works well for people already leaning towards scepticism. Otherwise, it helps to know how to reframe it to appeal to their intuitions.

Twitter just muted you for me! I certainly didn't but suddenly you disappeared and when I checked... Don't mistake my thinking that we need to promote rationality & objective truth and recognise the psychological need for narratives as neglecting the former. It matters what works
