Disagreement requires a shared set of presuppositions about the world. Even dueling requires agreement about the rules. You and I might disagree about whether President Obama’s healthcare plan was good policy. But if you suspect that Obama was an undercover Muslim spy seeking to destroy the United States, and I do not, our discussion will not be productive. We will not be talking about the costs and benefits of Obama’s health policy, but rather about whether any of his policies mask a devious antidemocratic agenda. Far from resulting in a process that is conducive to knowledge, giving serious consideration to every opinion destroys its very possibility.

'Why I believe we need to tax wealth more': In a bid to help lower middle income earners, a controversial declaration from the Archbishop of Canterbury
Taxation will always be controversial. But it is also essential: it pays for things that we all need. Every family depends on decent schools, good hospitals, roads and public transport, as well as our remarkable armed services and the police that protect us. Businesses depend on these things too.

Los Angeles Magazine reported that the burger chain had contributed to the Republican Party.

Colin Kaepernick is staring at you. The text reads: 'Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.' Given that Kaepernick has sacrificed his career on an altar of principle, the ad is undeniably powerful. Also undeniably brave.

Wasn't the Uberization of America supposed to drive millennials toward libertarianism? It hasn't happened. Instead, socialism is on the march in this country. A Gallup poll recently found more Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 had a favorable view of socialism (51 percent) than capitalism (45 percent). That represents a 12-point drop in positive views about capitalism among this age group in the last two years and a 23-point decline since 2010.
