Tribal Thinking

Tim Bray:

I currently work for Android; can I write about Apple? Or, when I was at Sun, could I write about Dell or HP or Microsoft? I do and I did. But very carefully. The one thing people like better than tribal thinking is a ringside seat at a fight.

I think tribal thinking is a wonderfully succinct phrase for a litany of counterproductive-verging-on-evil human tendencies.
