with respect to institutional leadership, is the best replacement for our old “Left vs Right” political spectrum that I have found. | |||
Try it for yourself. I found it to be surprisingly efficient. | |||
In particular, it explains my own politics. I am short the leadership and current experts within our institutions but “against burning them all the F down”. Thus the traditional Right & I agree on part of our current crisis, but this identifies why I’m not a natural conservative. | |||
I don’t trust @twitter leadership which throttles my account. I don’t trust universities Coked up on DEI zealotry which wants me to give loyalty oaths. I don’t trust Fauci who lies to us. I don’t trust that @EcoHealthNYC hasn’t been taken over by our military. Etc. | |||
But I also know our history. And it wasn’t always like this. Not everyone who has a glass of Chardonnay ends up two weeks later sleeping in the gutter. And I am not having it that all liberalism automatically tends to illiberalism. | |||
So I’m long institutions, short their new evil. | |||
In particular I don’t trust News Services, Universities, Political Parties, Government agencies, that won’t celebrate and hire top heterodox iconoclasts. If you won’t protect Noam Chomsky or Serge Lang in their fields despite their politics, what even are you as a university? | |||
So to sum it up, I don’t want institutions run by midwits w/ credentials that want to micromanage our reality. But “Burn it all the F Down!” Only works if it’s restricted to '''managed reality'''. | |||
I’m low trust for current leaders/ experts. But open to the hard work of rebuilt trust... | |||
