1. @DouthatNYT raises an interesting question about what liberals (or for that matter the left) can learn from the right even in this period where the right is mostly a sinister clown-show.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1171054061250121728 …

3. Other valuable parts of the right: c) foreign policy realism of the Lippmann/Kennan strand is still useful d) the Eliotic modernist idea of tradition as reinvention e) the critique (from Schmitt & others) of liberal fetishization of process over outcomes.

Burke is only "right" anymore in the sense of opposing the French Revolution. The Right in the US (and many other places in the world) has come utterly uncoupled from anything resembling "conservatism."

"Hayek's epistemological critique of central planning remains true" Bah it was a bullshit epistemological problem, it is an information technology problem, and it has been solved, although not implemented for what should be obvious political reasons.

Sometimes technological determinist arguments work. Notably for intellectually thin and ahistorical arguments like Hayek's. If the USSR had the equivalent of freakin' WalMarts vertical+horizontal consumer distribution system they'd still be around. Let alone Google/Facebook data.
