I'm coming from a different direction, so I don't understand a basic point here: Are you implying Pinker & The Weinsteins are *cynically*... centrist progressives? In service to which umbrella ideology? Rightist or Leftist?
-
They are sincerely centrist progressives, afaict, disturbed that both left & right are ideologically drifting away from that center. They seem to frequently pull punches & avoid biting bullets on certain topics, left & right, presumably not to embolden the extremes.

Ah, thanks. I'm not sophisticated when terms like "controlled opposition" come up- I feel like it requires a deep understanding of the writers context to even *guess* at who the cynical counter-opposition *is*. I think your characterization is reasonable.
