Scott, you wrote so well that I don't anticipate any comments. So let me try...

Yo, how 'bout that inauguration?

Wearing my philosopher hat, I enjoyed clicking on your link to critical thinking. "You cannot possibly see... unless you triangulate from sources of information..."

Wearing my citizen hat:

Part of why the US is polarized (besides the measurable decline in representatives drinking bourbon together in the Capital Building—a serious plight) is that nobody has the guts to triangulate in space and time.

For example, not asking what an observer in Canada or Mexico might say: I daresay Mexico has some experience with migrants, while Canada, with a similar population to California, and only half the GDP, still manages to... And not asking what an American in a saner decade might perceive. Call it chrono-chauvinism. I mean, would Lois and Clark ever sane-wash what Trump says?

Scott, while your audience, statistically, is interested in business and design, I am confident that some (i.e. you) have a liking for a salting of philosophy.
