![]() ![]() ![]() So why is intellectual humility in such scarce supply? Of course, the quickest answer might be the right one: that humility runs against most people’s fear of being mistaken, and the zero-sum view that being right means someone else has to be totally wrong.īut we think that the problem is more complex and perhaps more interesting. In other words, Americans have stopped listening. Perhaps this white-knuckled insistence on being right is the root cause of the societal fissure – why everything seems so irreparably wrong.Īs religion and philosophy scholars, we would argue that our apparent national impasse points to a lack of “epistemic humility,” or intellectual humility – that is, an inability to acknowledge, empathize with and ultimately compromise with opinions and perspectives different from one’s own. Critics point out endless lists of what should be fixed: the complexity of the tax code, or immigration reform, or the inefficiency of government.īut each dilemma usually comes down to polarized deadlock between two competing visions and everyone’s conviction that theirs is the right one. A common complaint in America today is that politics and even society as a whole are broken. ![]() ![]() ![]() GORDON: And I had my back to the stage and heard this sound and was like - you know, they talk about adolescent lightning strikes. ![]() Later, he gained attention as part of the folk and blues revival of the 50s' and 60s.'

He was one of the first performers to do a stage-dive and popularized the activity. Throughout his career, he is well known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics, poetic lyrics and distinctive voice. Both musicians went to West Berlin to wean themselves off their respective drug addictions and Pop began his solo career by collaborating with Bowie on the 1977 albums The Idiot and Lust for Life, Pop usually contributing the lyrics. He had a long collaborative relationship and friendship with David Bowie over the course of his career, beginning with the Stooges' album Raw Power in 1973. Initially playing a raw, primitive style of rock and roll (progressing later towards more experimental and aggressive rock), the Stooges sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances, which often involved acts of self-mutilation by Pop. ![]() Called the " Godfather of Punk", he was the vocalist and lyricist of proto-punk band The Stooges, who were formed in 1967 and have disbanded and reunited many times since.

![]() ![]() Attached as an appendix to a pre-trial motion with a series of tweets from one of Gawker’s editors was a tweet I had sent back and then a response from the editor to me. Ryan Holiday: One of the strangest experiences of writing the book came when I was about two thirds of the way through reading what was close to 20,000 pages of legal documents. Did Peter Thiel or Nick Denton select you to write the chronicle of their feud? How and when did you realize that you needed to write a book about what happened? But in C onspiracy, everything Holiday tells us about Thiel’s meticulously planned plot to destroy Gawker-so he promises anyway-is true.Īndrew Keen: In explaining how you chose to write the book, you say, “it somehow dragged me in, too.” But I can’t imagine you being dragged into anything you didn’t want to do. Holiday’s first bestseller was entitled Trust Me, I’m Lying. Ryan Holiday’s new book, Conspiracy, focuses on the story of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Peter Thiel’s successful vendetta against the website Gawker.
