I started The Understanding Project in 2010 in response to the increase in strife and hateful rhetoric I was seeing in the news and hearing from ordinary people I knew. I aimed to promote civility, compromise, pragmatism, unity, tolerance, education, and understanding. In 2013, I stopped writing mostly because I no longer had the time. I didn’t have the time to research every detail of every issue to know what people were talking about and I didn’t have time to keep checking for comments and carry on a conversation. Half the comments were from robots anyways. This is why I disabled comments. In 2016, I began writing a little bit, but I’m still not up to checking my responses all the time. I have too many other interests. I’m not really back. Below I link to some of my best posts from the blog likely to remain relevant through the ages. These will remain as a resource for those who wish to understand how others think about politics and to supplement some of the arguments I make in my book, The Nutcase Across The Street. If you wish, you can still read the full archives on the blog page.
