You are basically parroting my point to me.The center is the myth created by those who reign and own. The middle-ground, the golden mid, balance - rational, sensible, decent.
It‘s the ideal of the post-WW2 democracies in north-western Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia with their excellent social systems and equality of opportunities.
Social stress = high value placed on politics
Lack of stress = apolitical, aka "centrist"
The healthiest individuals will tend to be closer to the political center. Neither right nor left extremists seem very healthy to me.
