People who identify as "centrists" articulate their biography and information environment — nothing more. People who identify as "radical centrists" do the same, but they spend a lot more time rationalizing their path of least resistance as the heroic one.
Fair enough. It's almost impossible to separate yourself from either your biography or information environment. (I can't do it.) But the people who reject that premise and identify as a "radical centrist" while celebrating their superior "objectivity" bother me the most.

I think that's fair. We agree that self righteousness is annoying. Especially since of us know a damned thing really. I mean, how can we? We live in a massively complex emergent system. To pretend to fully understand it is just hubris.
