Love him or hate him, it's hard to be politically literate nowadays without having read Moldbug's 'Unqualified Reservations'. Maybe 90% of his profound, infuriating, mind-bending provocations are wrong. The challenge is: can you honestly explain _why_ he's wrong?https://twitter.com/Nick_B_Steves/status/1031720244493123584 …

The myth of “good schools” is one of my favorite examples, too. But could schooling be better for below-average kids? Could Congo be better-run than it is today? Moldbug’s goal is to do the best we can with the hominid as he is, which means fixing engineering flaws in government.
