And then the professor went forth to dwell in the kingdom of should.

“As we grow older, a carapace of compromise, of silent surrenders and self-inflicted belittlement begins to form around each of us.”
- Roberto Mangabeira Unger

Not necessarily, professor. Those with a dispassionate, ego-detached familiarity with the other kind of belittlement reach an understanding of compassionate awareness that does not hide under a carapace but rather forgives the belittler, whoever that may be.

Maybe you can get out from such a position individually with compassion, the question remains on how to bring societal changes from compassionate awareness or otherwise.

"With all these revolutionary projects that have shaken up humanity for two hundred years we have no developed credible image of how to live under the influence of these ideas. We really have only two images that are fully developed. And they are both of them incomplete and inadequate.We have the image of christian charity, of sacrifial love, given from above. So we give something, the fact that the person whom we give is ungrateful or slaps us in the face doesn't matter."
"But we don't really think that way in this tradition. We think that the highest form of love is not this benevolent and distant altruism. The highest form of love is love among equals."
http://youtu.be/dKdCxUbYqZ8?t=43m34s

"The soul of the ordinary men and women hides vast stores of intensity, and the sadness of human life is that this intensity is commonly lavished on unworthy objects, so that the ordinary human being in the end feels belittled and imprisioned."

In his Kingdom of Should, the professor places attention on getting, not giving.
Understandable when the audience is there to get.

Either purposefully or spontaneously
When attention shifts away from getting love
(Or a high fat/calorie/sodium simulacrum that releases a flood of warm fuzzy hormones associated with love)
And focuses on giving love
Belittlement and its cousins abate

Ladies (ahem), breakfast is over. Should have planned.

Any videos of anyone challenging the professor?

youtube production: when the professor says you must do, or we must do, cut to a free-thinking Harvardite leaping from his chair and shouting, “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!” And then go on to debate the point that free thinking men are free to determine their own Should. Such an event is not likely to actually happen since society is getting more organized in coping with disturbances, the event is institutionally organized, and it may tarnish an otherwise sterling resume.

But the cut would be the expression of only the principal of freedom. In life the badges everyone carries (details pertaining to form) are required by the authorities, and are required by society for proper placement in the hierarchy.

In saying that you must do or we must do, what the professor is actually saying is that to see the world as he sees the world, which is what one is receiving from him, one should do as he says. After all, he is the sanctioned authority for the system that deems the burnish of the resume, he has distilled causality for the intent of intellectually influencing discovery with preconceptions, and from Krista’s reverent behavior his brain is probably bigger thus better than most. Super-size.

He can go on, though. No doubt he manages a healthy paycheck from that.

the question remains on how to bring societal changes from compassionate awareness or otherwise.
In other words,

When the individual gives love without seeking love, then like the individual, society gives love without seeking love. This fundamental changing of society would also change car commercials.

Thus to answer the question in principle, from a compassionate standpoint the “how to change” for a society in which attention is placed on receiving love, is for the individual to place attention upon giving love rather than receiving love. You are the individual.
