I came to the conclusion a while back that reflexive contrarianism is a disease and an addiction, that can start with reasonable skepticism and gradually lead its victim into the (ironically unquestioning) holding of truly appalling and evil beliefs.

reading old anthology of campbell's editorials now&while a lot so modern IDW-ish in the 50s/60s it reads almost funny now, he also dedicates one to explaining/stating that islam, not graeco-roman "western trad" invented and furthered science, so he loses crusader con cred.

I wonder if Campbell would take that stance on Islam if he were here now? Lots of right-wingers (Harold Gray, James Burnham) were pro-Islam during Cold War since it was seen as a bulwark against communism.
