More thoughts on tribalism. Sometimes I am asked if I completely toe the line of sets of ideas like atheist, skepticism, liberalism and it is implied that if I do, I am a narrow-minded tribalist. This doesn't work and I will tell you why.

I completely think that liberalism - the aim for equal opportunities, freedoms and rights - is the best model of society but people who share this position are so ideologically and intellectually diverse otherwise, I don't think this can count as a tribe.

Lets separate commitment to certain principles and epistemologies from tribalism. It should not be suspicious if someone has consistent principles and values but be wary of people who only find common ground with others who share them & think in terms of in-groups & out-groups.
