I’m still hopeful that there’s some way to make progress if we get enough good minds churning out ideas on how to enroll people into their own personal development.
Me too! I hope my comment didn’t come through as cynical or thought-stopping. I think this is one of the highest goods people can produce. It just seems like this is one of those problems where even defining the problem is a wicked problem in the first place—but falling into analysis-paralysis is bad too.
Please do write more on this topic. Ill try to make a post around the same themes this weekend :)
I look forward to your post. One thing I’ll add at this point is that The Dignity Index group is working on rating politicians’ speech using machine learning, in hopes that this could help shift political dialogue. I’ve done something similar with a bit more complicated rating system I developed independently. If you’re interested, check out some ratings of politicians’ tweets here: twitter.com/DishonorP. I don’t feel that ratings systems by themselves will have a large impact on shifting behaviors, but seeing that some people put out actually non-partisan ratings may give others a tiny bit more hope in humanity.
