novelty:
The mass-man considers himself perfect and already has ideas on everything. As a result, he has lost the ability to listen. Ortega claims, though, that the mass-man’s ideas are no real ideas, because ideas and opinions are formed in the search for truth, something for which the mass-man has no interest or concern. Such a man, according to Ortega, was essential to the development of fascism: The Fascist and Syndicalist species were characterized by the first appearance of a type of man who did not care to give reasons or even to be right, but who was simply resolved to impose his opinions. That was the novelty: the right not to be right, not to be reasonable: “the reason of unreason.” 170 Here
as elsewhere in Ortega’s text, an idealistic desire to strive for truth and human perfection is set against the unreasonable and staunch insistence by the mass-man to assert an existence not worth asserting. In the political realm this unreason expresses itself in the repression of dissenting thought, speech, and opinion. Similarly, the unreason of the mass-man can be executed by a power other than government, namely by the crowd.

I'd go to youtube. Check out Dan Ariely. He says it better than anyone and with considerable laid-back humour. When you see him, you'll wonder why this handsome guy has a face one half bizarre. He was wounded, seriously, came out of it and continued with added oomph. Listen to him, himself.sonofthesun wrote: ↑February 24th, 2022, 5:17 ami tried to go to his site but there was a bunch of adds and hoops and things. What is the basis of his philosophy/endeavor?
