Is the political left and right position changing regularly? For many years now, I have been getting more and more uneasy when pundits and journalists use the “left/right” dichotomy. In my lifetime, I have observed numerous political topics that were once at the core of “left” politics that suddenly are named “right” and vice versa. I then came across the book with the very name “The Myth of Left and Right” and it is a terrific read. So I was very excited that one of the authors, Hyrum Lewis agreed to a conversation. Hyrum Lewis is a professor of history at BYU-Idaho and was previously a visiting scholar at Stanford University. He received a PhD from the University of Southern California and has written for the Wall Street Journal, Quillette, RealClearPolitics, The Washington Examiner, and other national publications. His most recent book, The Myth of Left and Right (co-authored with Verlan Lewis) was published by Oxford University Press in 2023. Moreover, this episode fits very nicely with the previous episode with Prof. Möllers on liberalism, so if you are a German speaker, please check this one out as well. Political realities do not map to a single variable or descriptor—there is no such thing as a political monism. Are “left” and “right” just post-hoc narratives where we try to construct ideologies that are not actually there? We observe a regular flip-flopping in history; what are prominent examples? “There is no left and right; there are just two tribes, and what these tribes believe and stand for will change quite radically over time since there is no philosophical core uniting the tribe.” I, personally, have a profound problem with the term “progressive”, but more generally, what do these terms even mean: progressivism, conservatism, reactionary, liberal?  “It is a loaded and self-serving term […] what is considered progressive changes from day to day.” “If you don't agree with every policy we believe in […] then you are obviously on the wrong side of history. You are standing against progress.” So, are left and right not a philosophy but rather a tribe?  Is the definition of conservatism maybe easier? There is a nice brief definition: "Conservatism is democracy of the deceased,” Roger Scruton makes the astute observation that there are so many more ways to screw up and so little ways to do right. But does this help in practice?  “Every person on that planet wants to conserve things that are good and change things that are bad. We are all progressive, and we are all conservative. We just don't agree on what is good and what is bad.” What are examples where positions are unclear or change over time. “In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yosemite and was guided by naturalist John Muir. The two men spent three memorable nights camping, first under the outstretched arms of the Grizzly Giant in the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, then in a snowstorm atop five feet of snow near Sentinel Dome, and finally in a meadow near the base of Bridalveil Fall. Their conversations and shared joy with the beauty and magnificence of Yosemite led Roosevelt to expand federal protection of Yosemite, and it inspired him to sign into existence five national parks, 18 national monuments, 55 national bird sanctuaries and wildlife refuges, and 150 national forests.”, Roosevelt, Muir, and the Grace of Place (NPR) Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican. And here again, a “hiccup”: even though Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican, he called himself a progressive. In reality, though, if you see someone on the street in a mask, you can predict with high certainty the other political assumptions of this person. How come? Is there now an underlying disposition, or is there not? Or is it much more a phenomenon of tribal or social conformity? Is the left-right model, at least, useful? What can we learn from past US presidents such as Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush in that regard? Is the political discourse at least more reasonable at universities and among “elites”? Or maybe even more troubled and more conforming to their very tribe? If “normal” people are in general “moderate” on important topics (like abortion), why do major political parties play for the few on the extreme ends of the opinion spectrum? More generally, some educated people describe themselves as “moderate” or “centrist.” Does this even mean anything, and would it be desirable? What about “realism” vs. “utopianism”? “Both status quo conservatives and progressive technocrats share a common element: the hostility to open-ended change, guided not by planners but by millions of experiments and trial and error. For both, the goal is stasis, it's just that one group finds it in the past, the other one in the future.”, Virginia Postrel  A lot of these errors are made under the more elementary mistake that we can know, predict, or foresee the future, especially when we take actions. What can we learn from Phil Tetlock and Dan Gardners forecasting studies? “To be a true progressive, you cannot be a progressive” “Our media does not reward granular, careful, and probabilistic analysis.” So, is it not more significant to distinguish between authoritarian and non-authoritarian politicians or political methods? But can we be optimistic about the future when non-tribal podcasters like Joe Rogan or Coleman Hughes have audiences that are larger than most legacy media outlets combined? Is democracy over time the best way to deal with complex situations and challenges? Is there a value in slowness, and are we not just too impatient?

Diesmal gibt es eine kurze Episode, in der ich Ihnen am Ende zwei konkrete Fragen stellen möchte. Es gibt ein Online-Formular, wo ich Sie ersuche, Ihre Gedanken stichwortartig einzutragen, natürlich anonym. Wenn ich antworten soll, nennen Sie mir bitte optional eine E-Mail Adresse. Es um zwei eng verwandte Fragen: Was ist Wissenschaft — was sind wesentliche Merkmale und Kriterien wissenschaftlicher Aussagen und Praktiken und Folgende der Gedanken, die ich in Episode 80 entwickelt habe: haben Sie für sich selbst Faustregeln oder Heuristiken entwickelt, die Ihnen helfen, zu entscheiden, ob Sie einem Experten vertrauen? Sind Aussagen glaubwürdig, für Sie von Relevanz? Als Einstieg in die erste Frage, stelle ich die Normen oder Prinzipien vor, die Robert Merton im Jahr 1942 vorgeschlagen hat: Gemeinschaftlichkeit (Communism/Communality) Universalismus (Universalism) Uneigennützigkeit (Disinterestedness) Organisierte Skepsis (Organized skepticism). Stimmen Sie diesen Prinzipien zu? Was fehlt? In welche Richtung sollte man weiterdenken? Bitte senden Sie mir Ihre Gedanken in diesem Formular!

Trade Adjustment Assistance is set to expire July 1, with no signs to date that Congress will soon act to renew it. Grant Aldonas is back on Trade Matters with part two on “adjustment.” Aldonas discusses Trade Adjustment Assistance and the components necessary for what he would call a true adjustment assistance program, one that addresses the broader challenge confronting workers and fosters nimbler and more proactive responses to change. Opinions expressed on Trade Matters are solely those of the guest or host and not the Yeutter Institute or the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Humans are both ‘traders' and ‘tribalists' by nature. We're traders because we have exchanged knowledge and goods throughout history. Indeed, the story of human progress has been the story of humanity combining its skills and resources to become more prosperous than would have been possible on our own. But we're also tribalists, because we evolved to form communities that then polarized themselves against outsiders. As a result, we often see questions of connection and collaboration in zero-sum terms even when such a perspective isn't warranted. That is the argument put forward by today's guest, Johan Norberg. Today's episode discusses his concern that humanity's tribalist nature is getting the better of us, making the future of the most open and prosperous society in human history increasingly precarious. Johan is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, where he focuses on globalization, entrepreneurship, and individual liberty. He is the author of several books, the most recent of which is https://www.amazon.com/Open-Story-Progress-Johan-Norberg/dp/1786497182 (Open: The Story of Human Progress) — published in November of last year.

Johan Norberg talks about the misfits, rebels and innovators that push the reluctant society into progress, the role of entrepreneurs and why this is a scary moment in time. He also reveals why founders are only getting 2.2 per cent of the value they create and who's getting the rest.

Richard Kilgarriff shares OMI with Johan Norberg, the Swedish historian of ideas and a senior fellow at libertarian think tank The Cato Institute. Johan wants you to open your mind, your business and your borders to celebrate and build upon the progress we've made as human beings to date. OPEN - THE STORY OF HUMAN PROGRESS  describes how we are the nicest and the nastiest of species, each and every one of us a trader and a tribalist, globalist and nationalist; capable of both open, creative collaboration and closed, vicious attacks on outsiders when feeling threatened by war, recessions, outsiders and pandemics. If we don't embrace our essentially human ability to open up, are we destined to be yet another civilisation that disappears forever?

To create a better future, we need to learn what has created progress in the past. This is the topic of Johan Norberg's latest book, Open: The Story of Human Progress.Johan has written several bestselling books, made several documentaries, and over 170 episodes of YouTube sensation Dead Wrong.He is also a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.Steven Pinker has this to say about his new book:“With clarity and grace, Johan Norberg reminds us that openness to things and ideas from others is the only route to well-being.”Hosted by Warp Institute co-founder Mathias Sundin.At Warp News, we strive to balance the negative bias in mainstream media that with fact-based, optimistic news focusing on the possibilities with new technologies, ideas, and collaboration.Follow our daily news stories, podcasts, and YouTube channel and be sure to subscribe for our premium content at news.warpinstitute.orgMusic Credits:Skyscraper by geographermusic: https://www.youtube.com/user/geographermusic/Download at: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary_download?vid=f51bc2d7d51d2f37Support the show (https://www.warpnews.se/negativa-nyhetsmedia/)

Humanity's embrace of openness is the key to our success. The freedom to explore and exchange - whether it's goods, ideas or people - has led to stunning achievements in science, technology and culture. As a result, we live at a time of unprecedented wealth and opportunity. So why are we so intent on ruining it? From Stone Age hunter-gatherers to contemporary Chinese-American relations, Open explores how across time and cultures, we have struggled with a constant tension between our yearning for co-operation and our profound need for belonging. Providing a bold new framework for understanding human history, bestselling author and thinker Johan Norberg examines why we're often uncomfortable with openness - but also why it is essential for progress. Part sweeping history and part polemic, this urgent book makes a compelling case for why an open world with an open economy is worth fighting for more than ever. One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger If the most challenging crisis in living memory has shown us anything, it's that America has lost the will and the means to lead. We can't compete with the huge population clusters of the global marketplace by keeping our population static or letting it diminish, or with our crumbling transit and unaffordable housing. The winner in the future world is going to have more—more ideas, more ambition, more utilization of resources, more people. Exactly how many Americans do we need to win? According to Matthew Yglesias, one billion. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support
