About E Pluribus Unum

"The Clerisy" with Loren Moss comes out of a simple proposition: If we encourage thinking, we will have a more thoughtful society. Peter Bernstein was right when he said "The riskiest moment is when you think you're right," and thus we hope to introduce heterodox thinking to the debate that typically peddles a defective and false "left vs. right" dichotomy. This endeavor comes out of a sense of urgent responsibility: "If those who know why and how neglect to act, those who do not know will act, and the world will continue to flounder."- Alfred Korzybski, 1921

   Hate Thy Neighbor: Why Trump Turned on Our Allies

   Why does Donald Trump seem more comfortable with Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin than with America’s longtime allies? Let's look at Trump’s increasingly transactional approach to Canada, NATO, Japan and South Korea—and why his willingness to question America’s alliances could have consequences far beyond tariffs and trade.

   Why America’s $40 Trillion Debt Is Already Your Problem

   America owes $40 trillion. How much longer can Washington keep borrowing before the bill becomes a crisis? Let's look at the national debt in household terms, examine the growing cost of interest, and compare the records of Republican and Democratic presidents. Trump promised fiscal responsibility, but let's see what he actually delivered—and why Democrats don’t get a free pass either. This reaches beyond Washington: your mortgage, your retirement, and your children’s future are part of the bill. Are you okay with this?

   The End of Birthright Citizenship? (The Trump v. Barbara Case)

   How did roughly 8,000 babies become a supposed threat to America? I break down Trump v. Barbara, the Fourteenth Amendment, and how a policy sold as stopping “birth tourism” could deny citizenship to an estimated 255,000 American-born children every year. I examine the numbers behind the outrage, defend the constitutional case for birthright citizenship, and explain why neither party gets a free pass. Should a president get to decide who is born American? Tell me what you think in the comments.
