I got the sense that he was partly addressing those of us at Steve's blog who take the view that we need to look *more* inward, questioning our own sinfulness, etc. in answering what's wrong with society. He emphatically believes we are unjustly being wronged by a parasitical *other*.<br /><br />BTW, that was an intimidating thread at Steve's post about the article as well as one that preceded the article (that seemed to provide much juice for his article, but I don't remember it).

When there's too strong of a view that evil comes from outside, it makes you examine yourself a lot less. It's mostly: reject the poisonous foreign substance, and things will be fine.<br /><br />This not looking inward to a source of evil lowers your empathy, which requires some kind of self-reflection, whether impressionistic or focused and sustained.<br /><br />So you don't appreciate how similar you are to others (not just the outsiders, but any others). You withdraw your trust from others in general, a la Putnam's findings.<br /><br />And you expect others to be thinking and feeling likewise, so it becomes a positive feedback loop.<br /><br />"I'd expect that horse-raiding long preceded Zorastrianism."<br /><br />Probably existed, but from the way the writings of the time present it, the situation had gotten to the point of young men facing a stark choice between getting a good union job and supporting a family vs. joining a biker gang, so to speak.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-60947115296262167502012-06-24T21:35:27.480-04:002012-06-24T21:35:27.480-04:00Speaking of Scandinavia, there was a story going a...Speaking of Scandinavia, there was a story going around that all of the rapes in Oslo with identifiable attackers were committed by foreigners.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-13360726235724227502012-06-24T21:34:45.463-04:002012-06-24T21:34:45.463-04:00Do you think this might help cause the Putnam effe...Do you think this might help cause the Putnam effect?
