I had wanted to drastically rewrite my depolarization book manuscript to make it better but just don't have the time & am quite burnt out. So decided to release what I had as a pay-what-you-want ebook.

Both Hazony and Gottfried have it wrong: wokeism is neither an upadated version of Marxism nor did it arise out of the failure of liberalism to stop the rise of cultural Marxism. Wokeness is the latest version of the inherent progressive logic of liberalism.

Political scientists have a whole literature on asymmetric polarization. History will make distinctions. But journalists have sources to appease and audiences to avoid alienating. Also, just because it’s not 50-50 doesn’t mean it’s 100-0 either.

I've been worrying for a while that we in the U.S. are living through a new version of the 1850s -- a period of bitter polarization that is the prelude to civil war. Here's the reading I need to do: wsj.com/articles/five-best-j…

Great talk by @LilyMasonPhD on this extremely important research! The most politically sorted are the angriest. Politics is now about winning exclusively, and compromise is dangerous.
