>we will push out your ideology with facts, logic and sources
LOL, please go on, this is good stuff.
>if you would like to WIN this political war of ideas pick up a book
How is this book? Or this one? Or maybe this one.
Maybe you should start with this one though.
here's a book that considers these questions from a solidly academic yet nontraditional POV: https://www.amazon.com/Irreducible-Mind-Toward-Psychology-Century/dp/1442202068
i'm not going to try to convince you that consciousness cannot be neatly located in the human brain (which scientists sloppily refer to sometimes as "mind" -- as if that word has ANY scientific usefulness -- and this just speaks to the hugely imprecise way scientists speak and think about these things). if you're interested in the topic, i recommend the book above.
but let me ask you. what is consciousness exactly?
This trend went pretty mainstream among conservatives ten or fifteen years ago.
Nixon went from pariah to great president who made a single mistake.
Vietnam went from a bad idea and a huge clusterfuck to a just and righteous war that the damn democrats deliberately sabotaged.
Japanese internment during wwii went from a horrible injustice to a perfectly reasonable precaution. Michelle Malkin even wrote a book about it in 2004.
And I'm sure there are lots of other examples I'm forgetting.
The Trumpkins didn't start all this, but it's unsurprising that they'd latch on to it. Particularly Nixon.
If you haven't read Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean, then this article is a good reason for you to do so. The US was 70%+ pro environment in the 70's.
What changed? Koch and his endorsement of James McGill Buchanan's ideology.
