Krugman being Krugman

"There's the great line, of course, about how his "lived experience" (see? I told you, he's doing empirical work!) confirms that motivated cognition "is not, in fact, symmetric between liberals and conservatives.

...

That Krugman is too thick to see that one can't infer anything about the quality of partisans' reasoning from the truth or falsity of their beliefs is ... another element of Krugman's proof that ideological reasoning is symmetric across right and left!"

Ohhhh. So those were the guys talking quietly in the corner of the Grateful Dead concerts while everyone else was tripping on 'shrooms and pretending the music didn't suck.

I always wondered what those guys were doing.

Got it! Thanks!
