I see a connection between Greenwald and quantum politics. Our social systems are increasingly difficult to predict because of their complexity, making them more chaotic (to steal from the article). And sometimes those trying to make sense of it blow a gasket and that would be Glenn Greenwald (and Tulsi Gabbard for that matter). Selective skepticism implies that Grenwald has a (big) blind spot, not being able to recognize his cognitive dissonance of crapping on center left politicians and media folks while ignoring the literal crimes on the right. But that's not having a blind spot, that is dysfunctional (for someone of his caliber). Nope, my sophisticated analysis concludes that he's broken somehow. And the quantum politics of today, would explain how so many people--mostly in the Right, but Greenwald and a few others on the left--broke in the last few years. Sarkissian is correct that we are beginning to experience what politics will be like in the digital century. Buckle up.
