Moral absolutism is more strongly associated with support for banning behavior than is political ideology--though conservatives tend to be moral absolutists and liberals tend to be moral relativists.

When the printing press appeared, its commercial products rescued usâwell, slowlyâfrom a state of tribalistic insularity. Enabling us to consider new possibilities. To think bigger. With greater care.
In contrast, the internet's commercial products are trapping us, worse than ever in living memory, within a state of tribalistic insularity (Elon Musk and Donald Trump setting fires to the place is also a problem).
Why has the acceleration of the spread of ideas been so profoundly harmful with the internet, but not with the printing press? And not with radio or TV either?
It really seems like algorithm-driven, effortless, large-scale socializing is to blame (including simulated and asymmetric socializing). That wasn't previously a significant facet.
Such socializing appears to validate attitudes and credos that weren't apparently validated before. Unfortunately, most of those are not mature, enlightened, healthy attitudes and credos.

Temporal coincidence that the dates of each film correspond to our most terrible political and social changes?

Jean-Claude Passeron: School as a Vehicle for Social Reproduction and Cultural Arbitrary

Why does the Canadian Association of Food Studies matter?
With Rachel Engler-Stringer: "So why does the Canadian Association for Food Studies matter to me? For me, it's about a home, a place where there's enough different disciplinary perspectives that I am sort of stretched and encouraged to think differently, both what it is that I am studying myself and what others are studying. I really like that CAFS stretches the boundaries of what it is that I am thinking about when it comes to food, food systems, food security. Thanks"
What disciplinary perspective do you bring to CAFS?
