Mark, I was just having a very friendly conversation with another reader on a different Substack article, and he brought up Malcolm X as a potential Dagger John Hughes figure for black America. And then, boom!, your article popped up. Of course, you are correct. Malcolm X doesn't just speak to blacks, but to all of humanity.
I'm listening to Scott Adam's daily podcast today. He brings up a great point about the parties manipulating group or shared interests to makeotors to think past the sale to accept the terms of the sale or solution. No matter how bad that sale/solution might be.
Same argument as 1965. Even more so when there's significant, structural challenges larger than the problems being discussed.

Ha! The Matrix has us!
Interesting you mention John Hughes, I like that comparison a lot. I wrote papers on him in college.
The evolution of Malcolm X is worth deep consideration.
"I felt that it was for the black man only a question of Johnson, the fox, or Goldwater, the wolf."
Malcolm said that in 1965 --and it's as true today as it was then. Unfortunately, I think the foxes and wolves have inverted. 😮
Another reason for learning and applying 5T!
