Do you hold a personal, heartfelt belief in any of the topics being discussed?
It strikes me that you approach each issue or discussion from almost a purely intellectual, analytical POV.

I can't speak for Corsi, but when faced with an issue I look for ways to address it in a utilitarian way - to maximize positive outcomes and minimize bad ones. And from what I've learned about history, reason and empiricism are the best ways to achieve that. Proposing ideas, assessing, measuring, speculating, trying other approaches. That's the way to make the world a better place. Partisanship, doctrine, and other simplistic approaches rooted in emotion almost always handicap reason and result in worse outcomes. I can't think of any problem that was fixed by being more emotional about it.
