AVATAR, BROS AND OUR SKIN – Where Woke Goes Right and Wrong

In this episode, I take a look at three cultural artifacts that present worldcentric ideals of sustainability, egalitarianism and gender fluidity through an ethnocentric lens of good versus evil:

  • Avatar: The Way of Water – James Cameron’s latest movie in his great green myth of Pandora, a pristine planet attacked by modernity (and a few pre-trans fallacies).
  • Bros – A gay romantic comedy produced by Judd Apatow, where the triumph of queer ideology is a moral imperative.
  • Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race – A picture book for preschoolers that shows how we would live in a world without regard for skin color – if it weren’t for white people.

All contain developmental truths enmeshed with us-versus-them resentments that power the culture wars. Welcome to the beautiful-but-not-pretty evolution of consciousness!

  • Jeff Salzman
