@robinhanson Have you read @FukuyamaFrancis book Identity yet? He speak a little about economics and thymos in the first chapter of his book. Do you have any ideas on how to balance thymos within the U.S. given that thymos may or may not be decreased by greater MTRL. equality?
No haven't read that. Don't even know what "thymos" means.

He says thymos is a desire for equal recognition and is the major motive behind identity politics. So, a question for you would be, "Is there a policy that would manipulate thymos and, in turn, decrease politics based on identity?"

I thought the question was pertinent given you an economist and wrote a whole book on motive. Thought you might have something interesting to say. :)
