Footnote: So, broadly speaking, historians just donāt really talk like this, give credits or attaboys to various historical moments. They donāt pretend that eras of human history exist in isolation, uninfluenced by anything else, and if you said in a historical setting āno progress occured before the enlightenment,ā youād have a bunch of medievalists on your ass saying āfuck off.ā So I have no clue where Hazonyās getting this idea. Even the example he uses here, Steven Pinkerās quote, feels extremely threadbare. Steven Pinker isnāt a historian, heās a linguist and pop academic, and his claim here isnāt really a historical one. There is no sense in Pinkerās work that he cares about establishing an argument about the enlightenment era, proving that it was the first time a set of ideas were had. No, heās talking about the ideology the enlightenment is known for, empiricism, democracy, limits on government, secular reasoning, etc. His book is about how great liberalism is, not about how John Locke was super original and stuff. So, yeah, without any kind of evidence for Hazonyās ridiculous claim, I have to assume itās not true. Since thatās how claims work lol.

Conservatives: traditional knowledge is best and we should listen to it over new interests
Indigenous peoples: the knowledge of our nations, which predate the United States, say we should take care of the planet and not abuse its resources
Conservatives: not like that

"Most of the progress we've made has come from conservative traditions."
Yeah, that's not how words work.

As a Jew, I can tell you that the word "Judeo-Christian" is so funny to hear due to our many major differences

Married men work more, go to bars less, and church more, PragurU is convincing me not to get married

I like how they took credit for common sense as if not touching a hot stove is an exclusively conservative viewpoint.

"Conservatism is good because a lot of influential historical figures were conservatives."
"Universal rationality is bad because Hitler used universal rationality, and he was bad."
I swear to God, this is how a child argues about politics...

I love how PragerU ignores the fact that ancient China was at one point the most advanced and "best", but then it got too into itself and closed itself off, letting other civilizations catch up and even go past their progress. This left China in a bad position. Progress is a good thing, challenging old ideas is a good thing. At one point humans thought that animals appeared out of thin air, and that Earth was the center of the universe, then we challenged those ideas and learned what is actually correct. Tradition and old thinking isn't always the best.

imagine being so reactionary that the 1800s are too progressive for you

I literally laughed out loud when Tradition Man said we need to combat "dogmas" through adherance to tradition. Like, how can someone stare straight at their own cognitive dissonance like that for the entirety of the video making process without realizing it?

Isnāt it weird how PragerU refers to huge historical events in terms of individuals, rather than as parts of a system

I have a master degree in philosophy and bringing up "common sense" in an argument during debates was always considered lazy. Common sense is really subjective and hard to define.

Science isn't bad, Hitler's science was bad. I also love how their little graphic for feminism is just like, 3 women. Like, "Uh oh, watch out everybody, it's ~tHe WoMeN.~"

PragerU: we put too much effort in the Enlightenment! Those ideas came from before then!
Medieval Muslim Scholars and Scientists: š
PragerU: not like that

PragerU: "Tradition is good. Like the traditional precedents set by Athens."
Anyone: "But didn't the Athenians establish those precedents through reason?"

One problem with tradition is that everyone has different traditions, so they can never be used objectively.
