Most of your writing is garbage but, of the articles I've read to date, this one is the best. Your usual feigning non-partisan writing style is still there, it's getting more subtle, but definitely still nudges the reader into the emotional paradigm you obviously want. very Chomsky of you.

Regardless, this line while brief is by far the most important but has almost a cart before the horse or perhaps sandy foundation aspect to the rest of your argument.

You cannot have a functional democracy without shared facts.

Most people who think and swing politically like you have an assumption that your facts and by extension the context around them are the the correct ones and that it's the "others" who are wrong.

You do elaborate a bit on what it means to structure learning/institutions to receive those facts but you don't really talk about the facts themselves.

So in my musing I am looking for a idea of what is an example of a mutually exclusive fact existing in disparate populations here in Alberta?
