WAT! No Nick? Here it is that I'm fascinated by a Social Psychologist and his lovely set of concepts and solutions .. and No Nick?l  : )

I'm planning on getting one of his books and plow thru it. Any suggestions on which on would be best? Probably "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion".

What grabbed me is his *immediate* dismissal of "reason", almost like it's a dirty word in his field. Instead he's a bit Mike Agar'ish .. meet the people and find out what their culture & daily life is like. 

Boy did that succeed when he made it possible for Stephen (G) and I to do a project with SFI .. reason was of no avail, so Mike goes in for a bit and bingo, the doors are open and we're working closely with SFI's IT gang.
