@LynAldenContact plot twist, Lyn — botanically speaking, a cucumber is a fruit. Taleb didn’t just name you after a vegetable … he accidentally knighted you as a Super Saiyan Fruit. Prince Vegeta is seething in his radish throne right now. 🥒💪

George Washington warned us about political parties in 1796.

Madison wrote Federalist 10 about faction in 1787.

Hume diagnosed the problem in 1742.

This is not a centrist project. It's not "be moderate."

A citizen using these tools may hold positions strongly to the left or right of consensus on any given issue. What's excluded is the wholesale purchase of pre-packaged identities.

Strong views, examined. Not strong views, inherited.
