The tagline is meant to emphasize that even good people are divided by politics, and the book is meant to target people who didn't find that obvious.

- james_s_tayler 8y agoRight but "good" itself is a moral/value judgement, so you wind up with the question "who is doing the defining?" And that descends into a disagreement. That is our M.O. Actually looking at description of this book and some of the reviews it's basically what I'm saying. Though my thesis contains a large component centering around our complete inability to calculate the truth value of most truth claims a priori and our inability to recognize that leads us to being utterly convinced our erroneous conclusions are correct and getting angry at people who disagree with us. This coupled with all the literature on how dissenters are treated and how groupthink takes hold. We are a walking recipe for disaster. This will make for a good read. Probably help me to expand on my own model even more. I think a lot of turmoil and confusion could be avoided if we collectively upgraded our protocols for dealing with each other.
