We Must Talk About Lindsay Ellis (Film Critic)
- 3 years ago
Of course, we need not, but I want to discuss a prominent feature of her mind and the political ramification thereof: she's extremely strong in associative thinking.
I explain in the video what it is, the weaknesses of it and how it can be manipulated more easily than rational thinking. Please, note that I don't say that she were lacking rational thinking. I'm just contrasting the two modes and say that chains of associations from anything and everything to Hitler is the basis of our era's cultural mind. That cultural mind, I argue, is suffering and we see a decline of quality of public conversations, a drop in, what I would like to dub public IQ or public intelligence.
[I'm unhappy with the audio quality of my recording. I guess, the microphone was changed for the built-in one before I noticed it.]
