the limpwristed, sycophantic reviews of Pinker's recent work of established rightthink "enlightenment now", especially by normiecon midwits (see douthat) makes me want to herald in an unholy alliance between reactionaries and postmodernists to take down the enlightenment project.

My thoughts exactly! Imh a lot of the Pomo thinkers even stopped themselves from going over the cliff into full blown anti-modernism, the problem is "conservatives" (especially in the US) tend to conserve nothing but their own borderline illiteracy.
