Have any of my Brazilian friends read, “The Least You Need to Know in Order to Not Be an Idiot.” It’s referenced as influential on Jair Bolsonaro. I haven’t found it in English yet.

Putin has Dugin. Bolsonaro has Carvalho. Trump had Bannon. Who is an underrated U.S. intellectual or scholar whose ideas will influence the next conservative-populist leaders?

Although Ryan Holiday is a liberal, it wouldn’t surprise me if the next revolutionary conservative or right wing populist figure was influenced by Stoicism and Holiday’s re-popularizing thereof.

"Carvalho understood that the way to counter this revolutionary outlook that dominates the Brazilian left is to reestablish the bridges that enable human understanding: in other words, to reconnect the mind to objective reality." The ultimate challenge in the current climate.

That’s a given. The Greeks and their heirs were all about cultivating virtue. Descartes and later the existentialists were about emotion as the basis for “good”.
