Couldn’t agree more. There’s only so much oversight you can have, ultimately institutional integrity can only be saved by virtuous individuals.

They haven’t served the public since the end of the Cold War. And like medieval princes who learned that being too cavalier about breaking the social contract could very easily cause one to lose their head, our modern elite are on the precipice of re-learning this lesson.

"there is no getting around of having an elite in the society, somehow one way or the other, there is gonna be one, so the answer to that is not to say it is not legitimate but to say it has to answer to the larger society," Beautiful said.

There is nothing so pleasurable as watching Peter Robinson agreeing to a point, especially when it is presented as a point that is common sense out there in the civilian world. He sort of hams it up, but it's got this liturgical edge, too.

A brilliant mind, Mr.Levin, there are limits of what laws can do to make a well functional society, beyond the law, it is leading by examples, a sense of responsibility, truly caring for oneself and others or in our words “王者之道,教化万方”。

Thanks for an interesting discussion.The most formative institution for our next generation is the institution of marriage. The collapse of trust in that institution comes down to the family courts weaponizing of false charges of abuse. Denied due process, and denied any enforcement of access to our offspring, any partner who turns villainous is helped to destroy the other, not only taking with them the bounty of our beautiful kids, but often corroding much of that beauty in the process.

The mother in the home with a father as provider is the number one institution that took a hammer blow after ww2. An insidious erosion of the importance of that role, which is the one thread of the tapestry of all institutions upon which society is built, was gleefully pulled leaving burlap behind, for lower wages and a bigger tax base. We have destroyed ourselves.

you said it precisely institutions are exactly designed to mold a person into the image of what that institution wants them to be. That was Horace Mann's idea of the public school system. The issue is that some individuals aren't conducive to being molded.

My objection to GEB and HRC was Dynastic Ruling Families. My vote is no, NEVER. The society must be more involved in politics and make sure the children are engaged. We must have other options than Elites, Dynastic Family members and Attorneys for our highest office in the land. THEY have wronged this country seriously.

They did not unpack "morality" as an institution which is not the same as rule of law. Norms & mores of society find their way into the rule of law but mostly found interwoven through our social fabric, ie; friendships, marriage, work... He described but didn't explicitly call out the postmodern ethos that has infected our societies...worse in some "institutions" than others. Morality must be taught and it isn't or barely. Pick your platform or mix of - religion, philosophy - but make sure it's rigorous and brought in early. Public schools are either atheist or agnostic and we are seeing the postmodern moral relativity permeating our society as a byproduct. Human nature and making sure the worst parts doesn't foster itself seems to be largely ignored in his book or what they were willing to discuss. Eg; Jordan Peterson is popular because he essentially notes that and people recognize it.

You know I think people recoil in instinctive revulsion from moral relativism. I don’t think anybody likes it. I don’t think Michel Foucault ever liked it or argued for it. Only the most crassly motivated reading of Foucault yields the interpretation “ there is no such thing as right and wrong.” Again only the boneheaded , spiteful and variously messed up can ( and do! ) get a reading of “men are the enemy” from Germaine Greer. To say that the shrieking mob of leftist book burners is led astray by the cunningly brilliant sophistry of European post modernists is....not quite it IMHO. I love and admire Jordan Peterson BTW. I think the raging mob chanting slogans and demanding justice (revenge) are not moral relativists. I think they crave moral absolutes. The moral absolutes proffered by Jesus of Nazareth, judge not lest you be judged, let he who is guilty etc etc etc are just far to subtle and slippery and like real life. Scarcely absolutes at all. Difficult to turn into slogans. So imagine the appeal of “racism BAD” and tolerance GOOD, and Nazis bad, therefore Stalin good, two legs bad, four legs good. Kids in American universities burning books, are, after all the descendants of British sectarians, some of whom were witch hunters.

#1. Does Mr. Levin even remotely understand that Congress was never intended to have a professional career membership but to be staffer with citizens from all walks of life who would serve for a time and then Go Home! Career politicians inevitably are corrupted by power & learn ways to serve themselves rather than the public. #2 More succinct way to describe colleges & universities today is that they have gone from higher education to lowest form of indoctrination, staffed by tyrants who push their agenda easily on the gullible but forcibly on the more wavy individuals. After all they have conned the populace into thinking that only someone who has letters after their name are capable of cogent or action

This is Aristotelian ethics. "A sea captain should do what a good sea captain should do". Problem is, is it good to be a sea captain? Aristotle can see it as unquestionably good because the state is good, and only citizens make possible a state. Well, should a Nazi be excellent as a Nazi? Should they strive to be a good example of their prescribed type? The aims of institutions need to be good in order for people to value them, but even then it's not self-evident that everything that's done to people to make them best serve the institution's purposes is in fact broadly good for the people, in the long run and extra-institutionally. It's also a mistake to ascribe elevated objectives to academics. Jordan Peterson and a handful of others aside, they're moral cowards. They're incredibly easy to bully and control. They just want jobs, pensions, sabbaticals and an easy life.

Trijicon made such a lousy red dot MRO (which you can't even use its own 3X magnifier on because the dot is so blurry it becomes a unusable splotch at 3x magnification and then they have the nerve to say you have to buy their $900 MRO HD in order to use their magnifier- see my remarks on County Mash's You Tube site- that I will NEVER buy from Trijicon again, and I can afford a high end thermal. Trijicon is way overpriced and for them to let such a piece of crap like the MRO onto the market compromising probably the most important feature of a well defined circular red dot- well, I don't trust them.
