58. Changing the consciousness of authoritarians would be a monumental task IMO

Edited on Thu May-21-09 05:31 PM by Time for change

I don't think that anyone knows how to do it -- at this time.

It may very well be that it would be a lot more practical to simply find a way to prevent them from harming others -- which would mean keeping them out of high elected offices. I don't mean doing that by force, but through our electoral system.

Edited to add that Altemeyer does note various kinds of exposures that tend to reduce peoples' RWA scores. See this post:
