NEW - JEREMY LENT, THE PATTERNING INSTINCT-What stories have we been telling ourselves?
from Free Forum with Terrence McNally · host Terrence McNally
In The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning, JEREMY LENT writes, “The right wing has not won on the issues, but by telling a grand story of America - a story that is false and based on a set of values that are driving civilization to a precipice. It’s been successful because there has been no coherent counter-narrative.” We look at that history and look ahead for a new story.
