The End of Progressive Intellectual Life
- nonrandomstring 4y agoThis disaster, a closing of the intellectual mind, comes from a confusion of what people think with what they are. An "Information Age" exclusively about words and ideas, has no room for bodies and souls. The subtlety of embodied life and spirit breaks its simple machinery.

- jenkstom 4y agoPretty much every criticism leveled at the left has a far worse corollary that could be directed to the right. The closing of ranks on the left is simply a reaction to the regimented authoritarianism of the right. Sure, some questions are really hard to ask on the left. But in general you can. On the right you have to live in a fantasy world to fit in and it seems like virtue signalling is a contest to see who can sound the most insane.
