Unnecessary disagreement mostly comes out of thinking the other side is *all* wrong

Stop doing that and we’ll all agree a lot more.

People mock my mantra that ‘centrist’ political thinking or ‘first principles’ technological thinking is ‘more enlightened’ than everything else.

But I largely stand by it.

Why?

Because I love the basic ideals of *both* left-ism and right-ism.

So I know I’m not trying to naysay either side of an issue.

And I’m only interested in technology that works.

I may be wrong sometimes for other reasons. But generally not because of political or technological bias.

BTW, how can I love both left and right?

Really?

What’s not to like about caring for everyone’s welfare AND wanting to incentivize honest work and efficient economic systems?
