    What does the word "teaching" mean in the context of this post?

    Writing blog posts?

    If you want to learn about moral/life philosophy, then there are some great free courses on Coursera

    If someone else wants to read Paul Graham's blog I do not see the issue...

    Narrative is defined by ideology and the media machinery able to sustain it. Facts are woven in only when serving the desired reality.

    If you and I listened to the propaganda on the regular basis, our intuitive knowledge would associate clean energy with isolated from reality snowflake liberals, hippies, abortion, subsidies, as opposed to fossil fuel energy associated with manliness, strength, common sense, “good old values”, military strength, and freedom.

    Just like beef (“it’s what’s for dinner”) and a delicious juicy rare steak. See?

    I recommend checking out George Lakoff’s work on the power of identity and metaphors. Look up his “moral politics” lecture on YouTube.
