John Boland and Timothy Cordes address the breakdown between people and their institutions. Tim uses the Ship of Thesus analogy to describe organizational drift.
Tim recounts recent news on how Amnesty International (AI), which defended political prisoners now set its sites on a women’s rape crisis center. He also reviews how the Southern Poverty Law Center has lost the plot.
John asserts that the atomization of information makes institutions more superfluous, and it is harder to hide their flaws, using the Catholic Church as an example.
The Buddies acknowledge the institutional blinders of academia. They discuss how preemptive claims of eelection fraud destroy faith in democracy.
John’s whack-job is a strict constructionist when its convenient while Tim’s hero uses her position to unabashedly advocate for women.
