Not a troll.  More interested in seeking a good idea of what is going on, and correcting people who have a bad idea of what as going on.  Not much interested in getting a kick out of others emotional failings, but if people have them they get involved in emotions rather that logical rational argument.  That seems to be the problem here, your constantly switching away from logical arguments to your emotional hang ups.  Ask yourself how well the defense mechanism is working?

The basic problem is that I attempt to understand both the red and blue mindsets, and both the WEIRD and tribal ways of thinking.  You do some fine research.  In areas where tribal thinking dominates your stuff is well worth reading.  You do not grok WEIRD.  You are absurdly partisan, which makes your view of both the red and blue biased.  This makes Generational Dynamics absurdly incomplete.  Since visiting this thread frequently I have taken advantage of your research which is useful quite often, but rejected the alleged parody, ideologically biased and straw man motivations involving those with WEIRD, red and blue leanings.  What you present on those subjects is just junk.  There are other sites with real WIERD, red and blue contributors that do so much better.

You wonder how you got to be a social misfit, why nobody that doesn't share your ideological biases takes you seriously?  

One of my basic rules is that everyone has a mindset which they can defend as the correct one.  By assuming your own mindset is the only correct one, there is a basic flaw in your methodology.  So much baby is thrown away with the bathwater that it just doesn't work.  I'll give you a hint.  Assume there is no bathwater.  Just a whole lot of babies.

You might as well assume the Bible is literally correct.  If you cling to one mindset without attempting a pretty dang good understanding of the relevant others, your understanding is poor indeed.

Mind you, I loose patience a times with those who dwell in the Marxist reality, but some are a lost cause.  Well, you likely are too, but if you throw up bad stuff you have to expect in a forum with diverse people, you have to be able to defend what you say.  Sorry that you can't.
