This book is an attempt to establish a rational political position by looking at the psychology of politics and trying to discern the factors that make many people one-sided in their thinking, resulting in seemingly incompatible political views. Psychologists speak of 'critical periods' or 'sensitive periods' of development, during which certain skills must be developed, and will be difficult, though not impossible to develop later on in life. The author shows that experiences during the critical period of development, or often a lack of certain types of experiences during the critical period, can cause a need to preserve a surrounding in which the individual feels comfortable, often coupled with blind spots due to the fact that we often try to avoid in our thoughts subjects that make us feel uncomfortable. It is only by becoming aware of these anxieties, inhibitions, and blind spots that we may develop a habit of always looking for the whole truth before arriving at a conclusion as to how society will work best for all its members.
