Being a self-acknowledged "newbie" at this task of deep politics, one thing has become clear to me (as it is probably clear to many veterans):
There comes a time when one should sweep all "the pieces" back into the box, take a good long walk outdoors amidst some mountains and brooks, listen to some music, meditate or otherwise take some sort of sabbatical, and then -- once refreshed, and the debris and detritus of early theory and impression* is at least somewhat weakened -- sit down and begin to assemble the pieces again, re-labeling as we go. It is always a work in progress.

Surely there are (and perhaps we ought to assemble them all here in one place), some baselines, guidelines and tutorials on how this is done... perhaps pointers to great works in the field of problem-solving, the art and science of intellectual and cognitive inquiry and investigation, scientific and evidence-based thought, the creative breakthroughs of insight, etc. I think of the Poincare approach as one example, described in the attached (page 22, footnote #29)...

* The debris and detritus is thick and gets thicker over time, given the active misinformation and disinformation game inside American media/culture, especially in America and on American subjects... but then most here have experienced it.
