I actually think Brooks is a blowhard and not often correct. That's why I didn't link the article from which I pulled the quote. Given that it wasn't Brooks who came up with it, I didn't find it necessary to give him any credit. He does, however, happen to be correct in that little snippet you pulled. The rest of the OpEd is garbage, IMO.
Some of the commentators share your opinion. I actually didn't read the Brooks article yet. But my question involves what is teachable. Can introspection be taught? Perhaps taught is the wrong word... maybe prodded is better. Prodding people towards introspection might be the best we can do.
