Radical Phase Transition (my term): Extremist movements can behave like solids (tyrannies), liquids (insurgencies), and gases (conspiracy theories). Pressuring them causes them to go from solid => liquid => gas. Leaving them alone causes them to go from gas => liquid => solid.

The small group assumption. Our brains assume that nearly everyone we encounter came from the same small group, thus - should know our norms, should know what we know , should expect what we expect. Source of much conflict.

A great book would go through these (& similar) concepts & give some examples from the real world; (recent) history maybe. The more serious the consequences the better. Links between the concepts too. 'Straight & Crooked Thinking' by Robert Thouless comes to mind, must be others.
