NBC’s Brian Williams on Social Media


He says, “I have another theory that the growth of self, all things self, has taken away our spirit of community.”

It’s an interesting point. When the “I” becomes more important than the “we”, the self becomes even more selfish than usual.

Could it explain the seeming rise in the lack of civil discourse? We can’t seem to see other points of views any more or compromise for “the good of the country” or tolerate (even celebrate) others’ differences.

Is it because of the “growth of self”?

I saw the punchline coming a mile away but it still made me laugh out loud:

“And this from Wisconsinites! The nicest, calmest, most non-shouty people you’ll ever meet! I mean, really. Wisconsinites are the closest thing this country has to Canadians!”
