"Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds." -- Henry Adams

 

Our political passions often start, quite admirably, with a desire to defend a demonized group. Unfortunately the response is often sanctimoniously demonizing some other group. We too often project our demons onto our outgroup (see Slate Star Codex's classic I can tolerate anyone except my outgroup).

​

I'm guilty of all of this, and I'm trying to do better. Below are my attempts to understand and in some cases predict the political world. I apologize if my views offend anyone. They are mine alone, and I respect those who think differently.
