But I think there is a deeper truth here. There is a myth of exceptionalism in America that prevents it from looking outward, and learning from the world. It is made up of littler myths about greed being good, the weak deserving nothing, society being an arena, not a lever, for the survival of the fittest\u200a\u2014\u200aand America is busy recounting those myths, not learning from the world, in slightly weaker (Democrats) or stronger (Republicans) forms. Still, the myths stay the same\u200a\u2014\u200aand the debate is only really about whether a lightning bolt or a thunderstorm is the just punishment from the gods for the fallen, and a palace or a kingdom is the just reward for the cunning.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of my biggest take-aways from global traveling is the realization that the rest of the world really doesn\u2019t care about citizens of the US do so long as it doesn\u2019t affect them. They\u2019re aware of us but they care little about how we do things. Our media is global. Our movies are seen all over and our songs play on radio stations around the world but aside from this and the threat of our dominating military that seems to think it is responsible for everyone\u2019s skirmishes, we are not seen as a leader in much of anything anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us don\u2019t realize that and this is very dangerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Do You Call a World That Can\u2019t Learn From Itself?: Of course, one can speak of capitalism&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-04-06T23:49:14Z","apple_news_api_id":"fd903b78-659d-4ea2-b5b9-50a2b392235b","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-04-06T23:49:16Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A_ZA7eGWdTqK1uVCis5IjWw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1UJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6964,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/08\/09\/linked-tulips-myths-and-cryptocurrencies\/","url_meta":{"origin":7361,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Tulips, Myths, and Cryptocurrencies&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"August 9, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Stratechery: This was the BEST explanation of cryptocurrency I\u2019ve ever read. it\u2019ll be my new piece to send people who ask me what bitcoin is.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Linked&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":4633,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/04\/17\/linked-learning-to-select-and-order-vacation-photographs\/","url_meta":{"origin":7361,"position":1},"title":"LInked: &#8220;Learning to Select and Order Vacation Photographs&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 17, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"via Disney Research: We propose the problem of automated photo album creation from an unordered image collection.
