      large parts of this are beautiful but enough of it is profoundly wrong that it will not be the essay that Saves America still im glad it was publishedhttps://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1349771077770162178 …

      This is one of the most provocative, original essays I've read in a long time. @tabletmag is on a roll. A huge part of that is because it's edited by Alana Newhouse, the author of this piece: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/everything-is-broken …

      I appreciate the link. Read through the essay in it's entirety and I'm left with a bitter aftertaste and a sense that the author is caught in her own tunnel vision in an ironic analog of what she's criticizing. Maybe later I'll write a more detailed critique. Coffee first!

      Replying to @danlistensto @eigenrobot

      alright, caffeinated now and I'll offer a very brief critique. Probably best to keep it short anyway. This is social reductionism, it's the same monocausal bullshit thinking that you so frequently call out. That's what's wrong with her analysis in a nutshell.

      she's grouping together, into a complex that she calls "flatness", a bunch of things that are actually in complex relationships with each other and are not all just manifestations of one underlying thing.

      Replying to @danlistensto @eigenrobot

      the reductionism here has some alluring qualities to it. it's elegant and convenient for every bad thing to be the same bad thing, but it's utterly untrue. different things are different. that they are somewhat interrelated does not make the same.

      Replying to @danlistensto @eigenrobot

      as a secondary criticism, I'll just say that I think her analysis of 20th century cultural history is a little off. only a little. it's thematically correct. but she's getting some details wrong in important ways.

      Replying to @danlistensto @eigenrobot

      for example: she identifies the 1970s as the beginning of the trend towards flatness and doesn't differentiate the origins of different components in sufficient detail. Supply Side econ is from the 80s. PoMo academia is from the 60s. These aren't the same thing.

          Nixon's agriculture subsidy policies were a huge shift. Pretty sure that's the actual referent of his "we're all Keynesians now" quote. How much of that did Carter roll back? my impression is the Nixon farm subsidy system is largely still in place today.
