On this episode of the Argument Ninja podcast I talk about the difficulty of judging how much we really understand about the causes of complex social phenomena—even if we do lots of research and self-study.
To help make the case I’m continuing my survey of different theories of the causes of the increase in social polarization that we’re currently experiencing.
On this episode I look specifically at the work of two social scientists who have written extensively on this topic:
(1) Karen Stenner on the “authoritarian” personality type. Her 2005 book *The Authoritarian Dynamic* can be read as predicting the expansion of right-wing populism that contributed to the rise of Trump and Brexit. Stenner's work has been influential on Jonathan Haidt's analysis of polarization.
(2) Eric Kauffman on the effects of immigration on polarization in white majority countries. His latest book *Whiteshift* explores how demographic shifts are driving cultural conflict, and how this will likely play out in the longer run.
But before I get to these topics, I give some Argument Ninja Dojo updates, do a recap of episode 034, and present a conceptual model for how we should think about the epistemological challenge of understanding complex social phenomena like polarization.

Here's a little drawing + animation video exported off of Procreate.
Many thanks to my friends and supporters who have helped to make 2019 a great year!
As my buddy John Lenker recently reminded me, "Hindsight is 20/20". 2020 is the year we get to apply the lessons we've learned over the past year (or decade!) to create more peace in our lives and in the world.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and soon, Happy New Year!
#procreateArgument Ninja Foundations: Learning Path For This (In Development) CourseKevin deLaplante2019-12-13 | In this video I give an overview and update on the latest Argument Ninja course that I'm developing, and the rationale for the learning path through the course modules.
FYI, Tim's "The Story of Us" series has a lot of wisdom in it. He's a master of the creative metaphor and catchy personifications of abstract concepts. He's also setting up a conceptual framework that addresses the phenomenon of polarization and its effects on our reasoning abilities. So there's actually quite a bit of overlap between his and my concerns. Plus the cartoons :).A Book Recommendation: Buster Bensons Why Are We Yelling?*Kevin deLaplante2019-12-04 | Here's a short clip from the Argument Ninja Dojo community video chat meeting that we had on Nov 23. This is toward the end of the meeting. Here I'm offering a book recommendation.
In this meeting we covered a number of topics relating to Peter Boghossian's essay "Welcome to Culture War 2.0: The Great Realignment", and my 33 minute video commentary on it:
The video recordings are available in the Dojo membership site.
Topics included: - enlightenment attitudes toward reason and knowledge - Boghossian's involvement in criticism of postmodern "critical theory" approaches in academia; the hoax papers - earlier versions of these debates: the "science wars" of the 1990s; the Sokal hoax - does a defense of science require a defense of "scientific realism"?
facebook.com/groups/argumentninjadojoHow I Organize My Time to Get Things Done (Hint: I use Notion)Kevin deLaplante2019-11-21 | One of my Argument Ninja Dojo members asked me about my time management strategy, so here's a behind-the-scenes video that gives a quick tour.
FYI, I'm a solo worker (a "company of one" as Paul Jarvis puts it) who has to balance coaching, consulting and course creation tasks.
Short version: I use Notion to create a weekly calendar that lets me add tasks into daily columns.
*Notion is free for students.*Realist and Antirealist Approaches in Philosophy: Science, Ethics and ReligionKevin deLaplante2019-11-20 | Here's a clip from my longer 30 minute video on Peter Boghossian's Culture War 2.0 essay. This is the section that talks about realist and antirealist approaches within philosophy of science, ethics and religion.
I think these distinctions are good to be familiar with as part of general philosophical literacy.
argumentninja.comWhats Important For Defending Scientific RationalityKevin deLaplante2019-11-20 | Here's a 5 minute clip from my longer 30 min video on Peter Boghossian's Culture War 2.0 essay. This is from near the end where I summarize my critique of his framing of the issue, and how I would frame what's really important in a defense of scientific rationality.
In this video Kevin deLaplante discusses Peter Boghossian's essay "Welcome to Culture War 2.0: The Great Realignment".
I focus attention on the way Boghossian defines one of the new cultural fault lines in terms of competing attitudes toward truth, objectivity and evidence. He calls it the "correspondence theory of truth", but I take issue with the label and the diagnosis (on this particular issue).
