Hi TOK List,
I thought this Tom Friedman article was worth the read:
It does a nice job of highlighting the fundamental point about the
Influence Matrix on the core of high relational value/dignity and low relational value/humiliation as fundamental drivers.
I liked this line quite a bit:
It has been obvious ever since Trump first ran for president that many of his core supporters actually hate the people who hate Trump, more than they
care about Trump or any particular action he takes, no matter how awful.
Best,
Gregg
