Steven Pinker@sapinker·
This 25-year-old paper by Jonathan Rauch @jon_rauch distinguishes "Hidden Law" (social norms judiciously enforced by gossip and disapproval) from "Bureaucratic Legalism" (formal rules and procedures), noting the expansion of the latter. Examples include adultery, insults, pornography, and euthanasia. He nicely presents a case for "rational hypocrisy" similar to the final chapter in When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows.... (Some of the discussion would have to be amended in the Age of Trump, where flagrant norm-busting is a new norm.) aei.org/research-produ…

Reading this a year later, it holds up brilliantly: A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how Donald Trump thinks about the world, @jon_rauch writes. Understanding this view is essential to defeating it. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Labeling people “narco-terrorists” without proof just to justify killing them is not the law. It’s lunacy. This policy risks dragging America into another foreign war. We need transparency, oversight, and respect for the Constitution.

As someone who has written about both the dark side of human nature and the promise of liberal Enlightenment ideas, this analysis by @jon_rauch strikes me as exactly right | Why Is the American Experiment in Trouble?

What kind of regime is Trump trying to implement? Not Fascism, exactly, since it's not guided by an ideology. I agree with @FukuyamaFrancis and @jon_rauch that we're seeing a backsliding from a rational-legal mode of political organization, where rights & responsibilities are stipulated by a social contract, to a patrimonial state, governed by the three basic human relational models: kinship, dominance, and reciprocity. (This trichotomy comes from the anthropologist Alan Fiske, a big influence on my work.) persuasion.community/p/making-the-w…

"Radical skepticism is like the acid that eats through every container. And sure enough, postmodernism’s skepticism undermined itself. How could it be for anything if all truth claims, including its own, are masks for power?" Excellent analysis @jon_rauch persuasion.community/p/the-woke-rig…

I've done many conversations about Christianity's role in democracy's crisis; this was one of the truly special ones. I, moderator Tom Gjelten, and the audience felt moved by the experience. youtube.com/watch?v=6v_2oj…
