+V. ROUGH OUTLINE OF POINTS TO HIT—
+
+ * ideally, we should just seek the view from nowhere (backlink)
+ * but our ability to reason is _built_ around coalitional politics: escaping the incentive gradients isn't going to be easy
+ * because there's moralistic pressure to be on the Blue Team, people who aren't willing to play that game anymore are tempted to just slap a negative sign on the Blue message
+    * obviously, this is really bad
+
+MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS POST: An apology (both "an expression of remorse" and "a formal defense") for the "cathartic" tag on my blog.
+
+political spectra are dimensionality reductions
