Can ''The Whole World'' Be Wrong?
2022
Overview
Landes, a medievalist and historian of apocalyptic movements,
takes us through the first years of the third millennium
(2000-2003), documenting how a radical inability of Westerners to
understand the medieval mentality that drove Global Jihad prompted
a series of disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions
that have shaped our so-far unhappy century. These
misinterpretations in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2005, contributed
fundamentally to the ever-worsening moral and empirical
disorientations of our information elites (journalists, academics,
pundits). So while journalists reported Palestinian war propaganda
as news (lethal journalism), they were also reporting Jihadi war
propaganda as news (own-goal war journalism). These radical
disorientations have created our current dilemma of pervasive
information distrust, deep splits within the voting public in most
democracies, the politicization of science, and the inability of
Western elites to defend their civilization, and instead, to stand
down before an invasion.
