what can we do to dampen tribalism in politics and society? What are the lessons from your research?
-

-
Crispr? I'd focus more on the conditions that make tribal identities problematic: estrangement, insecurity/stress, etc.
-
CRISPR pretty radical and opens a scary can of worms. "Better Angels" suggests we can make progress
-
That was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it does seem likely to me that we'll eventually tinker beyond gender & eye color.

Wouldn't expect Steven Pinker to use a silly pejorative like "Bernie Bros" This election is eye-opening.

It's odd that a science-writer like Pinker should uncritically use the 'Bernie Bros' line & retweet a weakly argued article.
-
Much of
@sapinker's writing is ideologically motivated, like Better Angels is a paean to statism (of the capitalist variety).

Bernie bros are basically conservatives and left-regressives. Nationalist, mysoginistic and racist. They will vote Trump
-
you have data to support this claim?
-
They hate Hillary Clinton, and they have a nationalist outlook in economic issues

Don't use the "Bernie Bros" label about Crazy Bernie supporters; repeating simplistic political branding sounds silly and sheepish

i think it's policy-based, but superficially so. revolutionary ideas are great, but tough to get done given the political reality.
-
political reality is a fluid thing. What's real today may not be tomorrow.
-
i hope so, too, but the polarization has only gotten worse- even within the parties!

This gen's 1929 happened in 07-08. Now we're living with the consequences. Last time, FDR was called impractical too.
-
recession was systemic failure. also, i don't think FDR had a divided congress
@sapinker -
he had opposition within his party and without.Yes,systematic failures unveil divisions lines.sys fails don't cause them.
