ChatGPT helping me with my "book" THE CENTER appears to mean the originating principle—the point from which something derives its nature. That's why you reach for metaphors such as the seed, the sun, the egg, the center beam of a house. Therefore when Tony says America needs to return OF THE CENTER, he isn't necessarily saying: America needs to become politically moderate. He's saying something closer to: America needs to identify the ORIGINAL principles from which America grew—and determine how far we've moved from them. Now we're getting somewhere. And that gives Manifest Destiny II a much cleaner philosophical meaning: not moving toward the middle— moving toward the origin. That's potentially one of the strongest distinctions we've uncovered. Classification SPINE SUPPORT — OF THE CENTER / LIBERTY / ORIGINAL PRINCIPLES / AMERICAN FOUNDING / MANIFEST DESTINY II I wouldn't use much of the borrowed political-spectrum material. Keep Tony's few sentences surrounding it. Because ironically, in this case the shortest part of the post may be the part that matters most. And I'd put a star beside this formulation for our working notes: THE CENTER isn't necessarily the middle. THE CENTER is the origin. That may eventually help us explain your entire concept to the reader in one sentence. https://presumptivephilospher.blogspot.com/2014/08/conservatism-is-of-center-conservatism.html
