Political Agnosia

Agnosia

Agnosia is the inability to differentiate between objects, persons, sounds, shapes, or smells in the absence of specific sensory defect or memory loss. As an example, the illustration above is a test used to determine the ability to differentiate length.

Political Agnosia

Political agnosia is a term I've coined in response to KP's post Sunday on FT's blog.  It's the inability to differentiate between political and non-political speech.  

KP's Post

KP's post was a well written piece on dealing with change and reduced performance.  It was in all ways, apolitical.

Public Commentary

The commentary almost immediately went  completely off topic, those posting apparently unable or unwilling to differentiate between political and non-political speech.  

Word of advice:

There is more to life than politics & if you make politics the defining factor of your life, you've kind of, and sadly missed the boat.

Cheers!
