My take: Using Berger & Luckmann we can helpfully synthesize poli sci results on affect polarization + partisan media/internet/social-media.

also, i tend to talk too much re folks like Voegelin & Ricoeur

first off, i want to say Wang's acknowledgements, wow, what a way to begin.

"This book is the fruit of more than a decade of inspiration and guidance from my teachers, Professors Kwang-chih Chang, Michael Loewe, Sally F. Moore, and Stanley J. Tambiah."

this should be fun, if i can ever get it going.

might be as fun as my extra long Joas thread, which i know everybody found spell binding

(and what a start! "idk what i'm talking about, but here goes" lol)
ok. i'm going to see if i can get this rolling, but it may be intermittent. also likely to be odds & ends w little unity. i'll label my stop skeet whenever it comes.

1st thing is idk Joas that well. i have read a few essays, The Genesis of Values, and The Sacredness of the Person.
