In Conscientious Thinking, David Bosworth cuts through all the noise of today's political dysfunction and cultural wars to sound the deeper causes of our discontent. Americans are living, he argues, in a profoundly transitional era, one in which the commonsense beliefs of the first truly modern society are being undermined by the still crude but irreversible forces set loose by technology's drastic revision of our everyday lives. He shows how this disruptive conflict between modern and post-modern modes of reasoning can be found in all advanced fields, including art, medicine, and science, and then traces its impact on our daily actions through such changes as the ways in which friends relate, money is made, crimes are committed, and mates are chosen.

Just as feudal values had to give way to a modern worldview that more effectively contained the new social reality generated by the printed book, so must our democracy reimagine itself in ways that can domesticate--civilize rather than merely "monetize"--a post-modern scene radically transformed by our digital machines. To that end, Conscientious Thinking supplies not only the means to make sense of our contentious times but also a provisional sketch of what a desirable post-modern America might look like.

Buy OEM
Finish is fine but sizing is wrong and these don't fit tight but rattle. About 3/4" movement in all ways, which will lead to scratched paint. If you've got a beater, these are fine but for my clean M3, I'll buy OEM from FCP or Turner.

Well worth the money!
Easy install, warm and has 3 settings. These are great as I can choose which grips I want yet always have access to warm hands in inclimate weather. I can disconnect and keep them in my dry packs. Easy pray and well worth the money. My grips are 4.125” or just over 10cm and fit perfectly.

So far they're great!
Just installed but so far so good. The installation was simple but time consuming for me as I had to remove a lot of body panels. They don't seem to have any effect on my grip or when I use the throttle. So far, the lowest setting is more than enough. I use these in conjunction with motorcycle muffs and honestly so far I think it's the perfect combination. My hands are warm and I don't have any added bulk to them. Will update if anything goes wrong or stands out with more use but for now I'd say they're completely worth the money if you're regularly riding in the cold.
