CHAPTER

Discernment Is a High Order Skill

Discernment is a high order skill, and that is in fact what it takes to be able to combat the kinds of problems that seem to be unraveling parts of our society. Until you develop discernment through practice, through engagement with this stuff, so you can tell one thing from another on your own terms, you don't have much. The professional literature that exists on this is worthless. It's wholly corrupted. So we can't trust the professional or academic literature on this. Your role doesn't have to be to fight this, but if you're here, I hope you're at least interested in it and we'll see that there's a need to fight this.
