| Why it’s on the list | The Wait But Why author’s long book on political polarisation, built on a ladder from high-rung thinking (ideas held loosely, tested) down to low-rung thinking (ideas held as tribal identity), and on what happens to a society that slides down it. |
Where I heard about it
- A reply to @SpencrGreenberg — named in answer to his question “What non-fiction book taught you the most about how the world (or how humanity or society) really works?” in a thread on X, June 2025. The full list lives on A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet).
Connections
- A question for you — What non-fiction… (tweet) — the thread this came out of; the full recovered list lives there.
- Language of Discourse — the portfolio idea this sits closest to; the book is largely about how argument itself degrades.
