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?

No, I think their is profound polarization obscured by a critical latent variable: salience. And, sorting ends up inducing more polarization once it lends discriminatory potential with respect to identity, because beliefs don't just integrate knowledge about the context.
