nuance intelligence

You need to watch a video that captures, in just over five minutes, a strong analogy of the American mindset.

Last week, Steven Colbert had Cornell West on his show.  It is an incredible interview.  Two highly influential American change agents — each of whom has built an impactful and borderline absurd public persona — face off in a risky (albeit taped, not live) venue.

What’s the nuance?

Beyond the good theater — which was in ample supply on both sides –  I think there’s something deeper.   At the heart of the debate is a question of values.  And as we’re seeing revealed here is an allegory for the evolving American mind, times, and people.

Take a look, and tell me if you see it, too.
