Once again, "ideology" is but an insult for theories you don't like. All in all your post is but gloating at being more subtle than other people. Speak of an "analytical" state of mind.

But granted - you ARE more subtle than most. And yet, you still maintain blissful ignorance of some basic laws of human action.

PS: the last paragraph of your previous comment suggests that if you're into computer science, you might be interested Gerald J. Sussman's talk about "degeneracy".

Is that the model you're using to predict my responses? That I "maintain blissful ignorance" of a few important things, and that I'd change my perspective if only I knew them? If that were true, what would you expect to see? How does this compare to what you observe?

There is something important going on here that you haven't noticed.
