Man's search for a place in the universe is a tale as old as time. In this particular era, where the information environment pushes us to absolute judgements on complex issues, it can be difficult to publicly identify with tribe X. Can tribe X survive the purity test du jour? It's easier to define yourself in opposition, to be on the other side of the failed purity test. (Elon, in this article, is a great example. Does your crowd allow for any good in his work?)
