    There's lots of books in the 40K universe that might qualify, but in particular the short story collection by Dan Abnett, "The Magos" is largely focused on suspense/horror. I highly recommend his other books, just for the quality of the writing and overall narrative, especially the Eisenhorn trilogy.

    I've been a long term customer of SoFi, and I have shares from pre-IPO days. Right now I have 800 at 7.53 cost basis, and I just sold a couple $8 call options at a nice profit. Happy to sit back...

    I was also raised conservative/hardcore fundamentalist, but didn't veer away from that world until my mid-30s. I agree that this issue runs deeper than most people realize, and whoever manages to figure out the best way to bridge the gap and help people understand each other, will get filthy rich.

    The whole foundationalism vs coherentism is a little deep for my tastes, but the premise sounds accurate. If I had to break it down for a layperson, it would sound more like: "Conservatives are empathetic about people they meet in person or have a direct relationship with, while liberals tend to be empathetic about people they have never met and have no relationship with."

    Probably an oversimplification, but at least I'm using smaller words and the point might be received a little easier.
