It's interesting that even as Will and his ilk criticize the Left for being a bunch of out-of-touch elites, they themselves are just a different brand of out-of-touch elites. A closer examination of this phenomenon might reveal much about our bifurcated ways of viewing the same reality.

But maybe this is simply a human limitation; we are all elites (elitists?) at some point when empathy breaks down.

OFF-TOPIC Hey, if you are a mathematician, you could watch this fascinating video I just watched earlier this morning on the Mandelbrot Set (and more) after reading this article on George Will and see if you think maybe I've hit on something. Someone needs to mix sociology with a study of chaos theory. Does human emotion follow such patterns? Has our ability to deal with a chaotic universe finally "overloaded," and Trump is the manifestation of chaos? https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk
