Episode 105 of the Cognitive Crucible – Tom Ken on Persuasion in the Developing World.
An interesting point on “propaganda” at about the 23:00 mark.
Western countries… dislike very much the idea of ‘propaganda,’ and God bless us. We shouldn’t do propaganda to the extent that propaganda means putting out false information. But, I don’t think that advocating for what the West offers, advocating for our liberties and so forth is propaganda. I think it’s just true, and we shouldn’t be afraid to say what we believe.
Propaganda is such a tricky word. And for a long time, it wasn’t even a bad word. Maybe a post for another time.
