Me-First Ideologies Wither in the Light of Wisdom

"I’m a college philosophy professor. We don’t teach “socialism” or even liberal political values. We teach critical thinking, evidence-based truth seeking, global awareness, empathy, curiosity, and humility. DeSantis [Governor of Florida, US] and others on the right face an enormous obstacle—reality itself skews left. When people become more educated, they become more acutely aware of the suffering of others, and of their own moral responsibility to do something about it. Me-first ideologies wither in the light of wisdom."
