READING, WRITING

Read for 40 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama. He recalls how difficult it was to write & deliver effective speeches, especially regarding middle-East terrorism and how terrorist Muslims had taken over Islam. BO included the achievements of Islam in the arts & sciences.

MY NOTE: BO was trying to change public opinion, and naively thought he could do so in a speech. He was, IMO, far too idealistic in this approach. His speech would not change Conservative thinking; and his focus on Islam achievement would likely serve to fuel the fire against himself. We'll see.

Read for 40 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. He discusses the evolution of social groups v individuals. Groups with the Loyalty Foundation are more likely to be successful. If there are cowards in the group, the coward AND the group are less likely to succeed. E.g., in a miliitary/war setting, the cowards will likely be killed, and thus will not return to the home group and become fathers. Also, if a group (such as an army) finds a "less than" among them, he/she will be called out and punished.

Read for 40 seconds in SHAMELESS by Brian Tyler Cohen. He says the "family values" movement was strongly initiated and continued by Phyllis Schlafley; later, the GOP hypocritically supported Trump, in spike of his "anything but family values" life and speech. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???????? The GOP supported Trump 100% even before he was elected, and by and large, continues to do so today.

Read for 40 seconds in ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN by Mark Twain. For fun.
