Description

We welcome Arnold Kling back on to the show to talk about the new edition of Three Languages of Politics. He hits on how many people talk about politics within certain axes. Progressives operate on a oppressed vs. oppressor axis, conservatives on a barbarism vs. civilization axis, and libertarians on a coercion vs. liberty axis. These axis bind us to a frame of mind that is not conducive to talking to individuals of an opposing viewpoint. If we are aware of our own frame of mind and those of others, we could be better communicators of our ideas.How do we talk about politics? How should we talk about politics? Why do Trump supporters believe they are being oppressed by the elite? What is pluralism?Further Reading:Dunbar’s Number: A Key To Networking, written by Ken MakovskyBook Forum on the Three Languages of Politics Held at the Cato InstituteMedia Bias and Asymmetric Insight, written by Arnold KlingRelated Content:[The Three Languages of Politics](The Three Languages of Politics, Free Thoughts Podcast), Free Thoughts PodcastThe Three Languages of Politics, Third Edition, written by Arnold KlingHow We Polarize Ourselves, written by Arnold Kling See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
