[FRIAM] Liberal dilemmas

Jon,

 

You’ve discovered a nifty new psychological survey method.  Mind if I pass it on to my qualitative psychology group?  If you don’t mind.  Why not all four cells in the table?   A measure of othering.  If I can share it, and you have it readily available, can you resend the link to the cartoon.  Thx.

Thank you, Glen and Frank. Seeing the image, and whether authoritarian or not, I couldn't help but relate. There have probably (right or wrong) been a number of times in the last month where the very same narrative ran through my mind while in line for coffee or groceries or whatever. I appreciate that the comic said nothing of vaccination, whether those in the crowd were or were not. I guess I read the comic as being an individual's feelings "in the moment", regardless of whether the causes are low-blood sugar or post-lockdown social anxiety or the sense that there is a breach of social contract or ...

 

What I like about the comic is that it could be a great way to poll the country (a'la one of those New Yorker comic contests we sometimes talk about on vFriam). We could produce a second comic with a person without a mask surrounded by masked individuals. Then with thought bubbles cleared, hand both images to people and ask them to fill in the bubbles for both comics. I can imagine that collecting the comics at the end would give a richer picture of the kinds of thoughts and feelings people actually have than the strangely averaged forms I often receive.
