I went to university when the liberal arts were the force, not economics. Consequently, I have a liberal mindset. In my grief at the election results I turned to Spinoza, who said our philosophical prejudices are a result of not understanding that humans are a part of nature — which made me understand that like crows attacking squirrels in spring, politics is only part of the cycle of nature.
