I finally read it. It's an interesting read, and I was happy to note that he and I agreed on something that I see at the heart of so many political divisions: it's cultural, and it's arbitrary. Our rationalizations are so often made after the fact of our gut reactions, even if in an effort to understand that reaction.
Our reactions to that observation are what differ, as I see that he links the rationalization of social life somehow to the problems in society and a worldwide unhappiness. I prefer to take a social science approach to social problems, and I've never read about any that resulted from thinking abstractly lol.
So other than his willingness to paint broadly with arbitrarity on actual social matters, which I think is linked to his philosophical approach, it's an honest and compelling piece. Thanks for posting it.
