Gray Tribe

Sometimes institutional designs (eg electoral rules) give a false feeling of polarization, when actually there's always at least four tribes at work within a given social group at any time.

The work of Mary Douglas on cultural types suggests that a two party system will never fully represent everyone within it.

Individualists (e.g., Elon Musk) advocate for skilled immigration to enhance innovation and economic growth.

Hierarchists like Trump support regulated immigration to maintain societal order and economic stability.

Totally agree! Skilled immigrants bring fresh ideas and growth. Musk's got a point. But a bit of balance doesn't hurt either, right? 🤔
