Mega-Thread of Low vs High Perspectives

[Leo Gura]

This thread is a collection of short illustrative examples of low and high perspectives of all sorts. But do not just post anything here. We are looking for short, potent, clear examples that convey a view in nutshell form. We are also trying to illustrate specific features of views that make them low or high, such as demonization, strawmamming, projection, pig-headedness, etc.

Only post exceptional examples which illustrate a point.

Be selective about what you post. Less is more. Don't post long videos that meander without a point. Think of this like clips you would show your child to teach about low vs high worldviews. Your child is not going to watch a 30 minute video for this.

Be selective!

Can I post all the points you made in the video? I got it from the youtube transcript, kept examples and tried to make them (not so) short for future reading/reminding.

Yes, if you can format them somewhat nicely that will be very useful.

I don't even remember them all.

I thought this was a great video.  It is sometimes possible to have a macro view and be missing things at the micro level and certain vice versa.  It's great to be able to both zoom in and zoom out.

Low perspective: silly and cartoonish (literally) straw-man argument in against gun laws in the US.

Feature-absence of fact checking-doesn't acknowledge a vast number of gun crimes are committed by legally obtained firearms as shown in link:

PragerU videos would fit well here.

A treasure trove of snappy shitty views

Low perspective: Hispanic Repubs voting against their own interest out of anger for having to pay $6 extra for fajitas.

Feature-Selfishness, lack of holistic thinking, short term thinking.

Juxtoposition between high and low perspective:

Low: Trump believing in the self-deception that he deserves authority over others. Lying and applying force to gain power. Decrease in sovereignty.  

High: Pence putting democracy above personal political and career agenda. Respects truth. Increase in sovereignty.
