You care about the greater good, but you want to define it for yourself.
It\'s hard to.
I did not want my kids to blame their frustrations on bad guys and "the system." I wanted them to believe in themselves instead of just following the lead of Political correctness.
But when I had kids, I saw how harmful it is for children to be taught that they\'re powerless victims.
I tried to overlook the inconvenient facts because I feared excommunication.
I saw that the good guys are not all good and the bad guys are not all bad.
I only questioned it after decades of noticing a gap between the facts of my life and the politically correct dogma.
This message is so pervasive that we take it for granted.
If you don\'t follow, you are labelled a bad guy and excommunicated.
If you follow, you get to be one of the good guys and share in the rewards that these leaders control.
I mean the belief that we are suffering under a "bad system." Political Correctness trains you to feel victimized by bad guys running the bad system, and to fight them by following the leaders of Political correctness.
They are just tribal solidarity rituals.
This book shows you how: biology drives Political Correctness you can enjoy the rewards of Political Correctness without it you can feel good when conformity surrounds you What do I mean by Political Correctness? I do not mean the hot-button dramas that fill the headlines.
You can do it too.
Here is the story of my transition.
It cost me, but the benefits outweighed the costs.
I gave myself permission to see what I see and know what I know instead of living in fear.
Enough I decided to take back my brain.
I froze- in the middle of a lecture to 150 students.
I was politically correct until the day I heard myself lie about a simple fact because the truth didn\'t sound progressive.
Until one day you can\'t.
What if you disagree with the politically correct view?You fear ridicule, shunning and attack, so you tell yourself it\'s not worth it and find a way to conform.
You care about the greater good, but you want to define it for yourself
