Giridharadas on corporate cognitive dissonance

He reiterates what I've been saying about being stuck in the old story which has cognitive dissonance with the new story:

"Many of this establishment are behaving in my view as they face the prospect of a Bernie Sanders nomination like out-of-touch aristocrats in a dying aristocracy. Just sort of, 'How do we stop this, how do we block this?'"

"Last night was a historic win that I think a lot of us are still struggling to understand. It's historic because we may be seeing that we are paddling through a bend of a river in history here. Something is happening in America right now that actually does not fit our mental models. It certainly doesn't fit the mental models of a lot of people on TV. It doesn't fit the mental models of a lot of people in the parties. It doesn't fit our cultural mental models."

Not sorry aristocrats. You can't stop this tidal way of a new story. We the people and democracy are on the march and there's no stopping us and our champion Bernie. Not me, us.
