This is a first installment of a series called "Mind the Gap", in which we'll be looking more at the way the media's own ignorance of intellectual history and the current state of debate in the philosophy of science and mind gets leveraged to manipulate you.

In this series we'll be looking extensively at a panel discussion about what has come to be called "Neuropolitics".  But first, in this episode, we tackle the myth of "political polarization".  This may at first seem off topic for a series about the human mind, but it is far from that, as you'll see.
