Dr. Lakoff has a message that every progressive, every person who cares about their children, their families, their communities, and their country needs to hear, because we have been all wrong about how we are going about trying to bring our message to the conservatives and those who vote against their best interests. He explains it, and gives us tools if we will pay attention and use what he teaches.
i am disappointed that George adopts the simplistic capitaliam vs. socialism frame for discussing economic systems....and he comes out favoring capitalism....George, listen to Richard Wolff among others...you certainly know of him, he draws huge crowds when he comes to the Bay Area ...you are wrong on this one
I thought Prof. Lakoff was a smart guy, but this was a disappointment. His framing of "strict father" conservatism is so lacking in nuance, I suspect he wrote diagrammed it in crayon. Stick to linguistics, George.
