How to Recognize “Package-Deals”

The most pernicious ideas are often injected into the culture by the method of “package-dealing” — the attempt to integrate the unintegratable.

The most pernicious ideas are often injected into the culture by the method of “package-dealing” — the attempt to integrate the unintegratable. Expanding on previous material he has presented on this subject, Mr. Peter Schwartz offers a more advanced analysis of the mechanics of the package-deal. He addresses such questions as: Can the same word stand for both a valid concept and a package-deal? What is the role of a definition in the formation of package-deals? What is the difference between anti-concepts and package-deals? This talk focuses particularly on the telltale signs one should look for in trying to identify a package-deal.

Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.
