Harold Bloom is right & Moldbug is wrong. The "American Faith" of a unitarian antinomian gnosticism is rooted in the 18th century & not the 17th. "Blaming the Puritans" is its foundation, & the "ultracalvinist hypothesis" is completely wrong.

Some good points here, but just as a reminder, Moldbug didn't associate progressivism with puritanism in order to "blame puritans", but in order to discredit progressivism to "open-minded progressives"

False reasoning even for rhetorical reasons isnt a free pass and constitutes an opening for any middle of the road-er doing fact checking

Just a reminder: Moldbug associates his project with cameralism because 'the science of administration' sounds cool but is so ignorant of the primary sources he doesnt know that it was a movement that was well known for being fraudulent and full of conmen.

Moldbug is doing engineering, not science.

Lol you are aware that the cameralists date far back enough for 'the science of God' to be how they talked about theology?

a) moldbug doesnt do any engineering what so ever. At best spit balling (which has its own benefits) b) moldbug didnt do any neocameralism, he just named it for when he wanted to (nick land does the same thing c) the word science is very old

The relationship between science and engineering is an important subject of dispute. Valid science usually proceeds from engineering, but the reverse is frequently assumed.

But yes, the engineering is at a "tinkering in my garage" level, not the Manhattan project.
