Sick Societies: Challenging the Myth of Primitive Harmony
Popular Science
Edgerton, a UCLA anthropologist, marshals hundreds of cases against the romantic anthropological assumption that traditional societies are healthy by default. The book Şengör names whenever he talks about ignorance-as-public-pathology: ignorant societies cannot govern themselves, and Edgerton's term for them — sick societies — is the one Şengör reaches for in Turkish as 'hasta toplumlar.'

“Cahil toplumlar kendilerini yönetemezler. Meşhur sosyal psikolog Prof. Robert B. Edgerton (1931-2016) bu tür toplumlara 'hasta toplumlar' adını vermişti.”
Şengör reaches for Edgerton's term 'sick societies' (Turkish: hasta toplumlar) whenever he talks about civic ignorance — his t24 column on the January 6 Capitol riot is the clearest standalone instance.
