Timur Kuran on Why We Lie About Our Beliefs | The Good Fight with Yascha Mounk
Timur Kuran is Professor of Economics and Political Science and the Gorter Family Professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University. He is the author of Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification and Islam and Mammon: The Economic Predicaments of Islamism.
In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Timur Kuran discuss how the phenomenon of people falsifying their preferences explains why revolutions are so unpredictable; how preference falsification operates in journalism and whether journalists get rewarded or punished for breaking taboos; and how we can move towards a society in which more people feel empowered to truthfully express their beliefs.

    Love Helen Joyce. Always makes me think about some new aspect. This time it was that girls are being rushed into taking testosterone because it’s an issues for males in passing when they start hormones. It’s not an issue for trans men as just look at Buck Angel who passes as much as any other female on testosterone. More evidence that it’s a male focused movement.

    The difference between Chomsky's examples of calling a Jew a "kike" or an Italian a "wop" and Mounk's examples of Latinx, etc., is that the former is imposed by the elite on a minority group independently of whether they want to use it (and they don't according to PEW). Chomsky's point seems to be that linguistic norms change (it's an old story, he says), but the Latinx thing bears more of a resemblance to an authoritarian regime controlling those norms than to those norms changing via a cultural evolution of acceptance/justice (is this Chomky's implication?). As Mounk says, there's a broader ambition with some of these movements to change language (Latinx, etc.) that will likely have a larger political impact. Chomsky says he doesn't see the difference... then gives examples of racism against Italians in the past again. Then he says these examples are instances of language simply changing, apparently countering Mounk's argument. But he hasn't countered anything. He hasn't said WHY they are instances of the same thing.

    Excellent point. As long as Saudis have homes, income, food, healthcare, politicisation increases the cost of having a living. The outdated and incorrect economic assumption that revenue at lowest cost of cash or hours of the day seems to hold in that circumstance. However, even that is bolstered by security agencies to control the population. But tight control of personal relationships, disallowance of arts and culture activities steadily erode the autocrat's hold on power, forcing ever tighter control on cultural and religious conformity. All that eventually collapses into what? Not sure what, might be organized democratic society, might perhaps more likely be chaos resulting in new kleptocracy, newly branded feudalism, new autocracy. We can never make assumptions about the rise of democratic society simply because we wish for that.

    Doesn't Miss Applebaum realise that her husband is a prime mover in the war between Russia and Ukraine? Playing the part of dispassionate observer upon the world scene seems a bit naive to the reality of her actual sympathies. Her animus towards Putin is well documented. No soft interviews can disguise her aggressionate self-assuredness in her assumptions of what Russians should want for their country. She obviously, if given the chance, would rejoice in directing those wayward citizens of the motherland back into the loving embrace of full-blown capitalism. To listen to her expound on the way she believes the world should be run and to connect that to a worried angst about the return of autocracy is too precious to let pass. She carries the seed of autocracy in her so-called diplomatic dialectic everywhere she goes.

    Ukraine isn't a democracy. Far from it. In democracies there is more than one TV Channel, main political parties and main Christian denominations aren't banned, no mass extrajudicial killings, disappearances and torture, men from 18 to 60 aren't banned from leaving the country, people aren't rounded up in the streets and dragged to their death. Democracies hold elections after all. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 . Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 700,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets, gyms and public transport. NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’.

    I think Mounk (and many European) observers’ bewilderment that it took the Democrats so long to push Biden out-or that it was even a question-may miss the ways in which the presidency really is closer to an elected monarch than a mere head of government. The fact that Nancy Pelosi and Congress effectively deposed a sitting president-and determined his succession-is pretty seismic, a sort of Glorious Revolution redux. (After all, the American Revolution and Constitution were arguably a rejection of parliamentary sovereignty in favor of a sort of restored Stuart monarchy, buttressed by democratic legitimacy and fixed terms.)

    The actual argument i think you could make is not that Biden himself is a progressive. Almsot no one actually believed that. It's more like he was weak and had setup a coalition where he could be effectively pushed around by the more progressive wing of the party.

    Matt, as a liberal trumps presidency wasn't that bad. As a citizen, it was appalling. How can you warm up to a guy who literally committed treason?

    Im so sick of people saying Harris is unpopular. Her approval rating has jumped up 9 points in just a week because people didn't really know her. They just viewed her as "Biden VP"

      For the last 5 years she had one of the lowest popularity ratings of any prominent democrat lower then Hillary Clinton Joe Biden Gretchen Whitmer Mayor Pete Bernie Sanders AOC Cori Bush 4 weeks ago she's extremely disliked barely 50% amongst Democrats and she's only ran unopposed in California for the most part she got Zero delegates in 2020 and her popularity is lower then Trump's so idk she got a Very temporary boost now that she's the candidate but when it comes to her stated policies the elimination of private insurance full gun abolition the "no humans are illegal" border policy and directly fundraising for state sponsored terrorists in 2020 shes purely part of the state media apparatus with Zero grassroots support who said she was segregated by Joe Biden when she was in school though she live in Canada until college and wasn't even old enough to have been effected by the bussing laws also her lie about having marched with MLK who died before she was born her forcing prisoners to fight fires in 120 degree weather in the redwoods also her stating that everyone in the US should make exactly the same amount of money putting people in jail for several years for misdemeanor marijuana charges in San Francisco attempting to imprison parents who's children were skipping school

      We'll see how that goes. We're still in the honeymoon phase. I suspect a chunk of this is people just being excited that it's anyone but Biden. It's simply a fact that she was incredibly unpopular when she ran for president and didn't get one delegate. As VP she was more unpopular than Biden.

    "Republican talking points: Kamala is a DEI hire.' The party insisted that Biden pick a black woman, and then they're outraged when you point out that she got the job because she's a 'black' woman.' We remember Journolist, Matt. We remember how you conspired to shape what got reported in the media. We know you.
