I have the following take on Ideas:

Ideas in social sciences do not have same kind of validity of those belonging to natural sciences and for that matter even natural sciences continue to evolve through successive approximation ..
Views therefore should not be extreme whether on Left or Right...
Under particular circumstances any idea, though absurd can explain reality somewhat accurately
...but one should not expect that a philosophy is valid expalantion for every situation belonging to its realm ...
...Positions should be taken by incorprorating various viewpoints with an understanding that reality on the ground will change and so will be the plausible explanation.....
...Radicalism of the Left and Right may be viewed with skepticism on these grounds...
