Do you find it natural to accept the varied religious beliefs of others even if they contradict your own? On the other hand, are you often at odds with people who espouse different economic beliefs and policies? Why, especially if the former forms the foundation for the latter?Feel free to answer!
...
Are you careful not to judge people by the color of their skin yet sometimes quick to make judgments based on economic status? If so, do you make distinctions based solely on wealth or lack thereof or does it make a difference to you how an individual became rich or poor?
...
Do you resent being asked to justify your economic beliefs or the moral foundation they rest on? Do your ends always justify your means? Do you feel entitled to having your beliefs respected solely because they are yours? Would you feel the same way about your mathematical beliefs?

I spent my time trying to figure out what political and ideological position these questions would be reflective of. . . Maybe Upper West Side liberal progressives?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the questions are reflective of Bill Frezza, and I don't know what views he represents. I just thought they were interesting for their own sake.
ReplyDeleteI think he's onto something when he points out that we tend to be tolerant of religious views and intolerant of economic views. He is also onto something when he notes that many tend to oppose all racial or gender stereotypes, but many of the same people are the first to use stereotypes based on someone's income or economic status. Don't you think he's quite right in noticing that?
