Comments on: What's the Frequency Lakoff? http://willwilkinson.net/flybottle/2007/09/19/whats-the-frequency-lakoff/ The Sweet Release of Reason Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:11:50 +0000 hourly 1 By: hip hop fashion http://willwilkinson.net/flybottle/2007/09/19/whats-the-frequency-lakoff/#comment-10850 hip hop fashion Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:22:57 +0000 http://www.willwilkinson.net/flybottle/2007/09/19/whats-the-frequency-lakoff/#comment-10850 More than just helping Democrats escape the hard truth about unpopular positions, the linguistic mindwarp thesis also blinds the Democrats to their problem relating to voters on crucial non-linguistic frequencies. If they’ve got to have a guru, Democrats should enlist Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia who specializes in the moral emotions, and whose innovative research offers liberals—and libertarians, too—a better picture of their problems.

Good college educated liberals can be very accepting of a bonobo like culture but may blanche at a purity father-daughter dance held by religious conservatives. I'm curious how well Haidt's work takes into account the liberal problem of tolerating everyone except the intolerant. It's hard not to see the "ingroup" (perhaps "outgroup" is a better word) processing in Will's gleeful description of liberal democracy destroying the radical islam. (I'm gleeful too). Great couple of podcasts, and I hope that you can keep mining the last questions regarding liberal culture. I’m a little skeptical of some of the ingroup claims about liberals and libertarians.
