Great review, Sami. Another cracker. When you had mentioned you were reading ‘Progressive Myths’, I had imagined it was about ‘myths’ as in the traditional story/deep cultural narrative, not myth as in ‘mistaken belief’. I would really like to read a book on the former! That we need a book explaining that commonly held progressive beliefs couldn’t be the subject of reasonable disagreement is just exasperating (and I’d say the same for the other side of the aisle, of course). But hey, that’s where we’re at, I guess.

It is a little exasperating, yes. But to quote XKCD 1022, It has come to this.
