Arnold Kling isn't a Goodreads Author (yet), but they do have a blog, so here are some recent posts imported from their feed.

The blog has moved

It is now on substack (In My Tribe). There is still no charge to read it.

I am trying to maintain the feel of this blog, including the daily scheduled posts and the comments section. Substack makes it easier for people to receive email notifications and for me to tweet my posts.

I will shift the blog back here if unexpected problems arise.

Quotes by Arnold Kling (?)

“One of my prescriptions for slow political thinking is to try to avoid telling yourself, “I’m reasonable, they’re not.” Instead, I would suggest the following rule of thumb. The only person you are qualified to pronounce unreasonable is yourself.”
― Arnold Kling, The Three Languages of Politics: Talking Across the Political Divides

“In politics, I claim that progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are like tribes speaking different languages. The language that resonates with one tribe does not connect with the others. As a result, political discussions do not lead to agreement. Instead, most political commentary serves to increase polarization. The points that people make do not open the minds of people on the other side. They serve to close the minds of the people on one’s own side.”
― Arnold Kling, The Three Languages of Politics: Talking Across the Political Divides

“Americans today, ideology has become a powerful marker of identity. Ps, Cs, and Ls are now rivalrous, hostile tribes. As such, they have developed linguistic differences and negative stereotypes of one another, which the three-axis model can help to articulate. Within a tribe, political language is used to reassure others of one's loyalty to the tribe, to lift one's status within the tribe, and to whip up hostility against other tribes.”
― Arnold Kling, The Three Languages of Politics
