      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.

          I keep wondering where the Carl Schmitts and Heideggers of the world have gone.

          Heidegger was a Nazi. So. Maybe that has hurt his reputation.

          Much of the same could be said for the "left". The left and right are no longer representative of traditionally liberal and conservative ideals. Now if you're talking about the actual concept of conservatism or liberalism then there are plenty of intellectuals and material.

          Jean Raspail's still clinging onto life, but failing that maybe Victor Davis Hanson? Or /pol/ or the donald subreddit, considered as a collective authorial voice

          I found him to be a stuffy bore. A professor a mine would tell a funny story about him at Princeton. Supposedly Lewis would often make a joke about Paul Cassonova's *Mohammed et la fin du monde*, saying that due to his 'unfortunate' name he was not often cited.

          I don't think the left is making any serious attempt to understand the right anymore. It's sometimes annoying, really.

          As someone on the left, it often feels like the only way you can demonstrate "understanding" or "sympathy" is, essentially, to endorse their policy program, or at least specifically disclaim opposing it.

          Even pseudo-intellectuals like Buckley would disown today’s conservatives.

          Buckley was more of a political operative than anything else.

          It seems to me that positions used to be argued based on logic so they could change but are now simply emotional statements based on beliefs.
