Good interview I hadn't watched. Paglia makes many good points but especially reminded me how much of a DORK Foucault was, who didn't know antiquity, and only knew a few things about the Enlightenment, which misled and confused him. Be careful!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-hIVnmUdXM …

You must learn all of history, then focus on what excites you most. But over-focus on the Enlightenment leads you down a hole that's only interesting to nebbishes and academic dorks. I knew a couple of guys IRL who were "really into the Enlightenment," they didn't turn out well!

No Trump didn't "complete the system of German idealism"! This is academic/litcrit FOPPERY. Change your interests while there is still time, change direction while you still have a chance to escape this onanism!

Replying to @bronzeagemantis
What you say is true tho, why do you assume I disagree, when this is just my position, that the enlightenment is ultimately sick, that it degenerates into nihilism and solipsism. Here I follow Rousseau who follows in turn the mighty Spartans over the Athens of enlightenment
