      1. Thinking a bit about Bernard Lewis & Richard Pipes, who both died in last few days. Both figures I had disagreed with on many issues but also, undeniably, genuinely learned & worth engaging with. Do they have heirs?

      2. Say your worst about these figures -- Lewis' Orientalism & downplaying of Armenian genocide, Pipes' Team B threat inflation & over-reaction to revisionists -- and you still had men who wrote deep, challenging, pathbreaking books.

      3. It's hard to think of figures of comparable learning among contemporary right -- or am I wrong?

          4. To put it another way, I think there was a period where it was useful to read some intellectuals (say Hayek or Burnham) to try & understand the right. That's not true at all in Trump era, where you're better off watching Hannity.

          Was Lewis really part of “the right” ? I’m sure there are scholars of comparable learning whose whose work admire - maybe Michael Burleigh? - who are not on “the right” in the way you mean.

          I don't necessarily mean partisan right -- something broader. Certainly Lewis & Pipes embodied a kind of conservative sensibility even if not directly affiliated with movement conservatism

          Pipes was part of a group of right wing intelligentsia. Most of the people he "trained" just allied with Russia or become radical anti Muslim bigots.

          Seems like it's common knowledge that the right is intellectually bankrupt. Do you think it's important to have a robust intellectual right? If so, why?
