Over in the Society and Culture section, David Horn has started a thread named We're WEIRD, Get over it. It covers a book called The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich. It's thesis is that reading restructured European minds, causing them to become Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD).
It seems America is one of the WEIRDest cultures in the world. I am starting to think that the blue are more WEIRD than the red, and the crises are dragging the culture in a WEIRD direction. WIERD may be a complement for what I call whig. If you care for understanding the partisan divide, you may want to visit the thread.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
