But we talk about a LOT of other stuff than just US Policy. Seems this is a less accurate heading.The heading of US Policy is far more accurate for the majority of posts, than Atheist Shrewds.
Clicking over 40 random posts covering a wide period (such as viewing first post shown using the feature to move 7 days backwards through the posts) I counted 2 posts that were not without US political references. One other was mostly about another topic but still referenced “Dems” twice.
That matches my earlier observation that over 95% of the posts are suitable for a board named US Policy.
There are a lot of interesting and very intelligent people in this community and politics is a fine subject, so there shouldn’t be any avoidance of posting about politics whatsoever.. we have an increasing sense in the modern world of being mere "spectators" and not "participators" and that is made worse in recent years when you write a sincere YouTube comment that is increasingly auto-deleted… thank goodness, this board helps us to feel as participating - raising ideas to others is a fundamental, even crucial, act of participating. Heck, merely expressing oneself (whether intellectually, aesthetically or creatively) amongst a familiar community is a psychologically necessary human activity. Shrewdm provides an atmosphere of more depth of attention towards the ideas, and each other, then you generally get with today’s Snapchat Twitter Instagram InstantStimili OneSecondThought addiction tech services, where depth of attention is actively discouraged.
The 3-board restructuring was just done to allow posts to resemble their board title far more closely.
The wonderful whimsical ponderings and philosophical discussions should continue on the Atheist Shrewds board here:
