>lemme just repost this great post which tackles human unconscious filtering, include drumpf and then add nothing.

Is this the power of journalism ?

I find only one mention of Trump and I wouldn't sort it into the category of Drumpfery. It claims that the filtering happens because of digital communication, and that the suffering people also think they're alone, and it links it to another source, so at least he's adding something.

It's not great but I don't really see the problem.

What are you getting at, OP? Do you perceive that article as anti-Trump?

Not op, but is there really a reason for including Trump in that article ?

>became the opioid epidemic until the Trump phenomenon sent journalists out to the hinterland looking for an explanation

Just look at this fuckinng expression. He's basically equivalating being at the lower end of the misery spectrum with being a suporter of trump.

Scott's post didn't even touch politics as far as I remember.

I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not American. I don't see that article as anit-trump, but that passage is a nod towards all those who were blown the fuck up by Trump winning and started looking for reasons. (deplorable, uneducated, racist, sexist, lower end of the misery spectrum)

What he could have done is actually write a personal extension to Scott's post, not just a reflection.

It wouldn't surprise me if as a New York Times columnist he was required, contractually or informally, to tie his writing to current politics. It could also be that this genuinely is how the man thinks and writes of his own volition, perhaps because being a columnist for the New York Times selects for it, rewires you for it, or both. I mean, the guy read Moldbug and posted https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/753593110882574336.

I agree with what you said but I'm having a hard time with the last part regarding that tweet. You don't need to read Moldbug for that.

>simplicio: Or maybe it would just give stupid voters a louder voice. I don’t like the evil conspiracy of the press and political elites that governs my country from the shadows, but I am willing to consider the proposition that the alternative is Donald Trump. I mean, I intend to go on fighting the Conspiracy about many specific issues. But if you’re proposing a reform that puts more power into the hands of sheep not yet awakened, the results could be even worse.

OP you should read Elizier's new book
