   Once you've decided you're righteous, you lose the ability to tell political positions from moral. You think whatever is "best" for the body politic is morally correct. You forget that these prescriptions come not only from your political opinions about what are the correct goals, but also your completely unjustified straight-up-guesses about the correct steps to *achieve* those goals, which causes will lead to which effects, and how the rest of us will behave in response.

     Yeah, deciding you are righteous completely misses the very important fact that we are all weak sinners.

     An old teacher once told us: "Progressives are great at seeing problems, but terrible at finding solutions."

     I suppose conservatives have the opposite blind spot.

     This is something I have said to a few people myself. Is it a teacher you had or someone I should know of that said this?

     A high school chemistry teacher, who was quite learned on other subjects as well and working after retirement below his academic level. It's a long time ago.

     If multiple people get to this observation independently there is likely a lot of truth in it. 🙂
