One of the reasons for this situation is that the very media we have mentioned are so designed as to make thinking seem unnecessary (though this is only an appearance). The packaging of intellectual positions and views is one of the most active enterprises of some of the best minds of our day. The viewer of television, the listener to radio, the reader of magazines, is presented with a whole complex of elements-all the way from ingenious rhetoric to carefully selected data and statistics-to make it easy for him to "make up his own mind" with the minimum of difficulty and effort. But the packaging is often done so effectively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a cassette into a cassette player. He then pushes a button and "plays back" the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so. He has performed acceptably without having had to think.
This is an incredibly important fact. It's gone even further with additional advances in advertising and social media not to mention the slow drip mental programming provided by algorithmic feeds which tend to polarize their readers.
People simply aren't actively reading their content, comparing, contrasting, or even fact checking it.
I suspect that this book could use an additional overhaul to cover many of these aspects.

Leah McElrath 🏳️🌈. (2021, July 12). One reason the right-wing outrage machine is focused on attacking Biden’s plan for door-to door outreach isn’t because they actually fear confiscation of guns or Bibles.

Whether you agree or not, to me there's nothing in this world that is entirely apolitical - when there are people there is politics. You don't have to agree with my views, nor do I expect you to. Diversity and disagreement is what drives mankind forward.
-
Personally I think it is a very bad idea to leverage political views, even if I may share them, through software.

Such a thing as an independent political movement was outside her imagination: and in any case the Party was invincible. It would always exist, and it would always be the same. You could only rebel against it by secret disobedience or, at most, by isolated acts of violence such as killing somebody or blowing something up.
Only rebellion Julia knows, only revolutionary thought of indoctrinated youth

But you could not have pure love or pure lust nowadays. No emotion was pure, because everything was mixed up with fear and hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political act.

Indians were not to be appeased—and certainly not brought into British public life.
- Indians were kept from entering politics or public life
- After the British gov take over in 1858, the British gov seeked to not only have direct control instead of a company's control, but also direct control instead of letting Indians have control
-
India Company violated its treaty obligations
- The East India Company used excuses to violate treaties and conquer more land
- Ex: In 1856, the British took Nawab Wajid Ali Shah's territory on grounds that he was weak and immoral
-
The government also decided to collect taxes directly from peasants, displacing the landed nobles as intermediaries.
- British took taxes from peasants without letting Indian previous positions of power interfere
- Peasants had to take out loans from moneylenders
- Peasants who couldn't pay their loans would have to give up their land
-
This was a new colonial order, but it was not stable.
Along with peasants, other sectors of the Indian population were not happy with British rule:
- Indian people who once had much power and property
- Indian business people who lost a lot of power in the newly British economy
-
the uprisings were local in scale and vision.
- The many revolts that made up the 1857 Rebellion were usually for specific villages or small areas for the inhabitants there
-
e petnte a government of his ow modeling it on the British administration.
- The peasant Devi Singh made his own gov based on the British way of governing with a peasant army that went after the moneyloaners hated by peasants in debt
- This may be evidence for the idea that the main sticking point for Indian peasants was the cultural and taxation policies of the British instead of the administrative part
-
replacing East India Company rule by crown government in 1858,
- The British government took over ruling India instead of the EIC in 1858
- Perhaps the British government took over ruling India instead of the East India Company because after the uprising, ruling over colonial states was viewed as a more militant and political task than an economic one.
-
In return, the Mughal emperor would receive a hefty annual pension.
- People originally in power in colonized territories striking a deal with the colonizers for their benefit is a common pattern
-
The East India Company’s Monopoly
- The British started off trying to control just India's trade by setting trading posts on the ocean
- Around the early 1800s, the East India Company conquered many areas in India and surrounding areas
Economic control -> political, military control
-
revenues in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa and to trade free of duties throughout Mughal terri- tory.
- The East India Company, as a for-profit, wanted to be able to do business without restrictions in India.
- The best way to guarantee this was to gain political alliances (by paying the Mughal emperor to let them trade), then starting in the second half of the 1700s, control (by later actually conquering areas) of territories.
-
During the first half of the nineteenth century the British rulers of India had dismantled most of the traditional powers of the nobility and the rights of peasants.
The first half of the 1800s saw:
- the disappearance of original Indian positions of power
- the disappearance of original Indian state boundaries and sovereignties in 1848 by governor-general Lord Dalhousie

We don’t do politics, and we certainly don’t do religion. You’re bringing these here by using terms such as “politicians” or “evil”.
Does "evil" refer to religion? Or perhaps they meant "evil" in a more general way, as a more extreme version of "bad".

Zak Stein, who is a contributor to the aforementioned book Metatheory for the 21st Century, is one of the strongest proponents of post-Integral metamodernism in terms of ‘social justice’ (a term that the IDW has helped nullify). In the Integral conference debate in 2015, the “weak argument” Stein proposes is that Integral should at least become more informed about what capitalism is. The “strong argument” is that Integral should be, at the very least, post-capitalist. Given that Integral was doing neither, the way people used terms like “green meme” and “second tier” became, Stein says, substitutions for actual thought.
This is also kind of true of e.g. Buddhism and many other spiritual traditions: they don't have a very thought out socio-political vision. Instead they have an advanced form of the "personal is political". I suspect this is part intentional, part accidental. Getting involved in critiques of capitalism, at least at a detailed level, tends to get political quickly and getting political in general a) risks obsolescence (and being wrong) b) risks alienating potential participants c) risks being wrong (and dangerously wrong, e.g. being misused to justify, say, authoritarianism).
All that said, I think this is a major lacunae both of Integral and spiritual traditions.

Our advice to the press: Don’t seek professional safety through the even-handed, unfiltered presentation of opposing views. Which politician is telling the truth? Who is taking hostages, at what risks and to what ends?

political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, who have long tracked historical trends in political polarization, said their studies of congressional votes found that Republicans are now more conservative than they have been in more than a century. Their data show a dramatic uptick in polarization, mostly caused by the sharp rightward move of the GOP.

And Mike Lofgren, a veteran Republican congressional staffer, wrote an anguished diatribe last year about why he was ending his career on the Hill after nearly three decades. “The Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe,” he wrote on the Truthout Web site.
An interesting example with some inflamatory rhetoric, but coupled with his resignation which is all he has left...

Trump’s online and email fundraising generated a record $239 million in small-dollar donations, far more than Hillary Clinton’s and more than two-thirds of his donation total, according to the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute. This made Trump competitive in a race where he was outspent nearly 2 to 1.
Not to mention the free media he was getting from the mainstream media who covered the spectacle.

More conspicuously, since Trump’s election, the RNC — at his campaign’s direction — has excluded critical “voter scores” on the president from the analytics it routinely provides to GOP candidates and committees nationwide, with the aim of electing down-ballot Republicans. Republican consultants say the Trump information is being withheld for two reasons: to discourage candidates from distancing themselves from the president, and to avoid embarrassing him with poor results that might leak. But they say its concealment harms other Republicans, forcing them to campaign without it or pay to get the information elsewhere.

People claiming that Trump said nothing racist may not be exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer on questions of sociology, and Trump himself is, on that score, a plastic spoon.
This could make a great political cartoon... a Republican drawer full of sharp knives and a pitiful Trump plastic spoon.

Departmental communication was a one-sided process, with nodal institutions seeking sectoral information without looking to build climate capacity in the state or involving departments in the ideation process. As a result some recommendations do not seem grounded in what is politically or developmentally tenable.

While senior state bureaucrats have been supportive of developing a plan, there is little evidence that they have championed adapting to or mitigating climate change as a cause, at either the political or bureaucratic levels.1

a great many Americans now see the life-and-death decisions of the coronavirus as political choices rather than medical ones.
I agree with this one on how Americans will typically wear a mask because it is one of the precautions but those who are more on the "I'll just follow what the president says" (political)side which is Trump thinking wearing a mask is not a necessity then others who may support him will think the same. Some but not all.
