I value the way Liberals think and feel and I’m trying to learn more about the “philosophy“. I’m currently reading Bernie Sander’s “The Speech” and a book called “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible” by Charles Eisenstein.

I’ve read a little about “The Venus Project” with great interest. They are planning a “resource economy” where natural resources and the means of production are “allocated” equitably and efficiently with the emphasis on conservation. I’ll reserve my main criticisms possibly for another time but I think their vision requires a fundamental change in human nature, mainly overcoming greed and the lust for power. They claim that our system fosters these negative traits but I’m not quite buying that.

I even listened to NPR for about nine months but I got to a point where I couldn’t stomach it anymore. NPR is to liberals as FOXNEWS is to wingers.

Our differences very well may go beyond upbringing or indoctrination, and you have brought up more than once that we are wired differently. You’ve also shared the “research” that portrays conservatism as a mental deficiency. I‘d say you consider conservative/capitalist ideology as “an illegitimate position”.

I think it boils down to our gut reactions to social, economic and political events. If we can replace the reaction with consideration and patience there might be more to discuss.
