I have tried for short summaries, but it hasn’t worked. Very short summary: A “rational” ideology can be based on three morals (or core ideological principles): (1) fidelity to “unbiased” facts and (2) “unbiased” logic (or maybe “common sense” is the better term), both of which are focused on (3) service to an “objectively” defined conception of the public interest.
Maybe the best online attempts to explain this are these two items:
an article I wrote for IVN: http://ivn.us/2015/08/21/opinion-america-needs-move-past-flawed-two-party-ideology/
my blog post that tries to explain what an “objective” public interest definition can be and why it is important to be broad, i.e., so as to not impose fact- and logic-distorting ideological limits on how people see issues in politics: http://dispol.blogspot.com/2015/12/serving-public-interest.html
I confess, I am struggling to articulate the concepts, at least to a lay audience and maybe to everyone. That’s why I was really jazzed to come across Less Wrong—maybe some folks here will understand what I am trying to convey. I was under the impression that I was alone in my brand of politics and thinking.
I’m done with this weird shit arrogant, academic web site. Fuck all of you academic idiots. Your impact on the 2016 November elections: Zero. Your efforts will have zero impact on the Donald’s election. Only the wisdom of American common sense can save us. LW is fucking useless. :)
