Thoughts
I think part of why Potterwatch appeals to me so strongly is that it is imperfect. It’s not just about there being an in-group and an
out-group, but there are people like Ron who very clearly belong in the in-group, but who are locked out by the necessity of the imperfect heuristic that defines access.
It’s easy to create an in-group and an out-group, but the definition of the in-group has to be something other than the tautology.
