These questions tap into some of today’s most divisive issues, and finding an answer can often lead to confusion and resentment. Arguing for the better world” is the title. Yet, the author does not define what “better world” is. Which would be the absolute basic requirement for writing a book with a title like that. Which turned the entire book into “a guide to household virtue signalling”. If the author would look for genuine change, they would define the goal. Without a logical goal, any action becomes a meaningless virtue signalling. A philosophy professor attempts a cooler approach to divisive political questions.In chapters with intriguing titles like 'Can You Be Racist to a White Person?' 'Is It Sexist To Say Men Are Trash?' and 'Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far?' Shahvisi attempts not 'to be "objective" or "apolitical,"if such a thing were even possible,' but to 'make my reasoning clear enough that those who disagree with me will at least see where we part ways.'"— Kirkus Review From the Publisher Brings cooling clarity to the heat of today’s culture wars’ Priyamvada Gopal, author of Insurgent Empire Show your working” is how the book starts, yet.

Madhubuti on "Taught By Women" "Taught by Women" is a culmination of my saying to all these women, … thank you, that you did not do this for me, you did this for us, you did it for the nation.

An antidote to division: a book that arms you with the ability to build good arguments and find a path through conflict and confusion.Brings cooling clarity to the heat of today's culture wars' Priyamvada Gopal, author of Insurgent Empire We’ve all wrestled with questions like these, whether we’re shouting at a relative across the dinner table, quarreling with old classmates on social media, or chatting late into the night with friends. Many people give kneejerk answers that roughly align with their broader belief system, but flounder when asked for their reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate—especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide. Men are trash อาจเป็นวลีที่ก้าวร้าวรุนแรง (offensive) แต่มันไม่ได้กดทับ (oppressive) เพราะผลกระทบต่อชีวิตผู้ชายค่อนข้างจำกัด ต่อให้วลีนี้กลายเป็นวลีฮิตก็ไม่ได้ทำให้ผู้ชายสูญเสียอะไร และที่มาของมันก็ไม่ได้เกิดจากความเกลียดชัง แต่เป็น demand for justice ที่ไม่เคยได้รับการตอบสนอง เพราะฟังก์ชันนึงของ Men are trash คือสาดสปอตไลท์ไปที่ฝั่งผู้กระทำ และย้ำเตือนว่าความรุนแรงเหล่านี้เป็นปัญหาของผู้ชายที่ผู้ชายต้องไปแก้ ไม่ใช่ให้เหยื่อปรับตัว Political progressives like to think they have the advantage of reason over their right-wing counterparts, who often don’t seem to know what the hell they are talking about. Ask someone on the radical right to define wokeness or critical race theory or white privilege, or democracy for that matter, and all you are likely to get is a steaming pile of verbal mush dumped on social justice issues one would have thought long settled. It’s as though they think that line in the Pledge of Allegiance about “liberty and justice for all” was written by a socialist. (Well, in fact it was written by a socialist.) But progressives, too, can be mealy-mouthed when it comes to articulating the concepts held dear to their cause; they are no less prone to fumbling the reasons that make their cause the right cause for everyone and the only cause for democracy.

Raises important questions, but seems fixated on everything anecdotally wrong in the world excessively, akin to pharmaceutical companies inflating the dangers of curses or disease, or defense contractors exaggerating and clamoring for war. Seems to add fuel to a fire and increase polarity and divisiveness intentionally to validate her perspective, versus actually developing a framework to build meaningful coalitions that can be true change agents. Arianne wrestles with topics like is it sexist to say that “men are trash”?, can white people be victims of racism? and do we bear any individual responsibility for climate change?Many people give kneejerk answers that roughly align with their broader belief system, but flounder when asked for their reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate—especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide.Polarization is prolific and its consequences increasingly clear. Now, more than ever, we need more sophisticated, high resolution ways to pursue truthfulness, extract the essential value lying at the heart of different experiences and points of view, and synergize distributed wisdom to make smarter decisions together. We need each other. We cannot navigate this complexity effectively, alone. Gives progressives everything they need to defend their views in an increasingly polarized public sphere . . .

A must read -- Aaron Bastani, author of Fully Automated Luxury Communism: A Manifesto Learning to distinguish arguments that reveal (the potential for) unintended consequences we’d rather avoid and arguments that reveal worthwhile ways to improve things, from baseless assumptions, personal preferences and ideologically polarized points of view, is a skill-set we would do well to develop and integrate into our institutions, organizations, interpersonal relations and intra-psychic worlds.
