A hopeful, heartbroken man.

Today America votes.

In many ways, it may be a more consequential vote than before. A day before the polls open, in the quiet before the storm, Ezra Klein asked Jon Stewart to talk about the last twenty years of US media, politics, and not least, some fundamental ideas about the nature of humans and how it was, and is, affected by all of this. I was a little disappointed that Stewart didn’t pick up on Klein’s initial lead about the new epistemological structure of the left-right division, but I suppose he was right not to. If you watch the video all the way, you’ll understand why.

Let’s hope we’ll be more hopeful than heartbroken tomorrow night.
