I have been thinking liberal and conservative mindsets, my own knee-jerk liberalism in particular and how that limits my ability to take in information. I came across this interview between Bill Moyers and Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist (moral philosophist?) on the differences between the liberal and conservative minds. You might know the majority of this, but I found it enlightening. It is near an hour long. I listened to it as a podcast while I worked. I did not sit down and watch it.
As I listened, I considered your sense of loss over the moderate's presently diminished position in this country....
