I've replaced the baity word "crookedness", which was likely to lead to uninteresting associations and arguments, with the phrase "crooked timber" (from Kant) that the article itself mostly uses. I know it's pretentious, but in a case like this, having the title be a bit of an obstacle is probably a good thing - and at least I didn't make it say "Embrace your crooked timber of humanity".

Edit: never mind I've got a better idea - let's just put Kant's line in the title.

Crooked is a bait?

I read the original quote

> “You shall love your crooked neighbor / With your crooked heart.”

as splitting the difference between physically uneven and morally flawed. Selfishness - we put ourselves first in our heart, tipping the scales in ways that are more obvious to others.

It's not bait in the hands of an Auden! but it is in an internet title.

OTOH, with that title I thought it was about the very long-running group blog[1].
