One of the Wee Slothrops is about to go to college. From what I can tell so far, that book has zero relevance to what he is going to experience.

It goes far beyond college. It explains the cognitive failures and flawed reasoning causing polarization. It blames a lot of the moronic idiocy on the left on universities, true, but it applies the same criticism to the right and analyzes the silos that create that side’s groupthink.
And unsurprisingly, it’s lizard brain stuff that applies pretty solidly to both sides.
They use a compelling three part analysis (three “untruths”) both sides of our polarized debates have in common.
At the end, you realize both sides are kind of just playing an ends-justify-the-means game. But how the authors get you there is quite insightful.
