"I am listening to this book. I had to stop listening to the news-- it upset me too much. So far, this book elevates the idea of America& makes me think of concepts that I wasn't aware of. It is rooted in philosophy & will likely make me read other books. I have always thought that writing about some other piece of writing is derivative but I have changed my mind. There is so much to unpack here.20" — May 09, 2026 01:47PM

“Franklin and Jefferson understood balance. They were part of an Enlightenment era that embraced the scientific method of testing and revising beliefs based on evidence. Both of them studied Isaac Newton, whose mechanics explained how contending forces could be brought into equilibrium. Their goal on contentious issues was not to triumph but to find the right balance, an art that has been lost today. Compromisers may not make great heroes, Franklin liked to say, but they do make great democracies.”
