The "Alt-Lite" might be a bunch of grifters with the branding skills of a sea-slug, but at least they're not born-again Strasserites.

It's mainly that even NRx is full of degenerates. Working out how to encourage activity is easy if you're willing to iterate. They're not.

"Hey, nobody knows how to lead, let's practice." Ironically, an election might work pretty well in this case.

Have to be willing to fail to do something new. Something new is patently necessary. NRx isn't willing to fail. That's embarrassing.

Bullshit. Political ambition can only be pollution in philosophy, and NRx is a philosophy. If you want leaders, look somewhere else.

False dichotomy. For one, an intellectual leader is both necessary and not political. Second, democratic politics is not leadership per se.

As soon as philosophy is remotely about persons, it's corrupt beyond salvage. Defer to the ideas (alone), or get out of the sand-pit.

Political philosophy kinda has to be about persons and how to actuate them towards desired ends. It's futile & wayward in a noumenal vacuum.

People are its objects of attention, not its sources of intellectual authority. Same for scientific anthropology, insofar as it exists.
