Kindergarden of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks

Evan Sayet has finally put his brilliant lecture* into the form of a book.

At the following link, Jamie Glazov of Front Page Magazine interviews him about the book where Evan lays out the essence of his theory on how the modern liberal "thinks" (that is by rejecting all morality, rationality and thought as evil).

An excerpt from the interview:

Since the Modern Liberal’s policy on any given issue is the one that he is led to by his rejection of moral and rational thought – his indiscriminateness – anyone who takes a different position on any issue is not only “wrong,” he is evil (or, in Thomas Sowell’s words, he is “not merely in error, but in sin.”) This is because the opposite of indiscriminateness is the evil of having discriminated: the hate crime of thinking. One might discriminate because they’re 1) stupid 2) bigoted 3) phobic 4) evil or 5) greedy, but, no matter what, the Modern Liberal has no other explanation for disagreeing with him on an issue other than one of these five things. Sound impossible? Take a second and try to name a single issue – even one – where one of these things isn’t what the Modern Liberal says is the motive for not supporting their policy. You can’t. Not one.

*I highly recommend you watch the lecture too. With Q&A it's 47 minutes long but he's pretty entertaining and the ideas presented are pretty powerful and engaging.

Interesting theory. I have a really hard time following Sayet on a lot of what he says. He tends to speak way over my head, I think. I might get his book, though, and see if I can muddle through it. (Maybe there's a "Dummies" version)

But how does this help?

How can this information change the mind of somebody so far gone?

Yep, his book will never be read by anyone that ever thinks critically.

How often have you found yourself going "How in the hell can this person believe what they are saying?"

It isn't about changing their mind, it is merely about understanding the beast. It is about knowing how your logical arguments are going to be attacked and angle it will come from.

I attribute a large portion of liberal thought to modern medicine. They will often go after the symptom until the disease kills the patient, because it is far easier to treat a symptom than to address the disease itself.
