Myopic Political Blindness

blind right eye

  • What Money Can't Buy - The Moral Limits of Markets . Michael J. Sandel, 2012 The Righteous Mind - Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion . Jonathan Haidt, 2012

Partisan politics is built on social myopathy, the inability to comprehend other points of view, much less value them. Two books (suggested by others) demonstrate blindness from the left or the right. Without stereo vision, depth perception disappears. In politics, that means that a multidimensional landscape is reduced to single-template us/them pattern matching.
