All Democrats need to read "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt. Like... be smart y'all. Obama tapped into something this moral psychologist identified years before and he won. Twice.

@bethallisonbarr Well when you DO come up for air, I'm reading a great book called "The House of the Mother" by Cynthia Chapman.. if you haven't read it already. Goes directly to all those patriarchal assumptions. Very eye opening.

Matt Walsh
JoieJoie

/2...had ordered the Matt Walsh book with poly sci funds "church of cowards" (that had the tag "proselytization" in Gobi). I responded with the order screenshot & "Matt Walsh doesn't have a college degree" and then added "oh good point, I'll ask our sociology librarian instead."

Time: Full Stop or Question Mark?

Stephen Bishop
JoieJoie

I love rewatching everything through the lens of learning social science theories. "Stephen Bishop was so selfish, so secretive" - mother fucker, he was an ethnographer (time walker hello?). His data was his world. Fight me. @DebHarkness

The Sin of Certainty: Why God Desires Our Trust More Than Our Correct Beliefs

Peter Enns

@mzpresser It's by a protestant but highly recommend the book The Sin of Certainty by Peter Enns. It's one of the rare books that really shifted some perspectives for me.
