| Now, taking it apart, the center of it is idea suppression. Not all ideas are good. And so, idea suppression is very frequently understood as an important concept when we're talking about something like bigotry, where we're talking about something like violent ideology. Of course, you want to suppress certain ideas. But these are not the ideas that are principally important inside of the disk. The disk is actually a complex. It is a large collection of different structures, and it's not controlled in any one place. Many of these have emerged separately. But what makes an aspect of the DISC—what shows you a particular component, is that it protects institutions from individuals who are making valid and reasonable points. So, if you imagine that the institutions have become incredibly fragile because they're in fact built for growth, and that plan for their growth obligates them to tell untruths, and to hide certain characteristics, because they are not, in fact, able to grow at the rates in which they are supposed to—you need some complex for making sure that that information doesn't reach the bottom entrance to a pyramid structure. | | Now, taking it apart, the center of it is idea suppression.

| Returning sponsor '''SkillShare''' is one of the most popular with the Portal audience because we have a lot of stuff teachers out there, and SkillShare is effectively a university in your pocket. Any course you can think of that you want to take under the sun probably has some representation and SkillShare through instructors the high quality videos teach you everything in the privacy of your own home. I wanted to test SkillShare by giving them something I felt very uncomfortable with, namely, Interior Design. I always notice when I'm in it somebody else's home, it isn't just a collection of interesting objects, but it is somehow beautifully pulled together. So I came up with a course on the site talk by Emily Henderson called "Style Your Space: Creative Tips and Techniques for Interior Design", and, sure enough, she explains sort of the rigmarole or theory behind pulling a house together visually to create a coherent space. I'm glad I did, and it's probably not something I would have been comfortable doing if it wasn't in the privacy of my own home. Now SkillShare is a proud sponsor of The Portal, so you can explore your creativity at [https://www.skillshare.com/portal SkillShare.com/Portal] and get two free months of premier membership. That is two whole months of unlimited access to thousands of their classes for free. So get started to join today by heading to [https://www.skillshare.com/portal SkillShare.com/Portal] for high-quality courses in just about everything. I can do that with SkillShare—the University of the phone for autodidacts.

| with respect a new sponsor Fender play. I'm really curious what took you guys so long. Look I've been playing Fender guitars to Fender amps for 24 years. I'm addicted to your product. You don't send me a Telecaster you send me some relatively tame ad copy or what gives now with Fender play. Yes, you can Master chord songs techniques. You can track your progress in the at blah blah blah. You can share your success you can connect to real teachers, but that's not what's really going on. You need to play and share music with other people in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being on this planet. We lost chest to the computers. We lost the game of go to the computers but music is still the operating system for the human heart. And if you're going to break some hearts, you're going to need to learn how to play music and it's going to make everybody better off. So we have an incredible deal for our listeners new members can try Fender play free for two weeks and save 50% off a fender play annual plan. The only way they can take advantage of this is to go to fender.com podcast and use the special offer code portal at checkout. It's fender.com podcast using the checkout code portal, but this offer is only available for a limited time, but most importantly you need to get started playing music in order to fully experience what it's like to be a human being and I think this is a great way to do it from one of our best companies.
