I've been reading your writing for a while and been throughly enjoying it.
While I certainly don't warm to conservative and libertarian thought, lockstep leftism seriously drives me up the wall.
The academic, programmatic nerd types are the worst. They might be good at coming across as mature, rational, and urbane, but emotionally they're petulant, envious and resentful children. And there's no intellectual maturity without emotional maturity. People bereft of any capacity for subjectivity, empathy, emotional literacy, magic and wonder are sterile tyrants hiding behind a smokescreen of moral superiority.
I have no idea what the fuck's going on metaphysically, I don't think anyone does. So when dogmatic atheists think they have the answers, the reductive formula, you know they're as insane as any Middle Ages witch-burning Christian.
Exactly. It’s less about politics and more about the tragic extinction of wonder among people who forgot enlightenment means carrying the heavy weight of the world on their shoulders...lightly.
