On the one hand, my reaction (negative) to Fiorina's Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America partially motivated my dissertation, so it makes sense that I critique it in my discussion section. On the other hand, I *still* feel like an imposter doing so.

The gist: the distinction between sorting and polarization isn't all that useful, and the former eventually generates the latter through the discriminatory power it affords identity.

That sounds very interesting. Have you published any small pieces on it already?

No. Regrettably, I wanted to write a monograph for some reason. And now I have a deadline that takes priority. I'm going to try to publish after, but the entire thing is a git repo.

Well, I look forward to it. I've been bouncing around culture and belief stuff for years now, so it's right up my alley.

Interesting, so you don't think there's polarization? What of the many poll data with distributions that barely intersect?

To clarify, you're saying what's really happening is sorting? That it matters how the polarization comes about? I know you're busy, you can add me to list too.
