"One would be lucky to find advocates of social justice in the academy who are familiar with the name ‘Hayek’, let alone those who have read him". No. The Use Of Knowledge in Society is required reading in phil econ and phil social science more generally.http://quillette.com/2018/04/15/stifling-uniformity-literary-theory/ …

I think Burkean conservativism is under-taught (http://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2016/12/conservative-under-representation-in.html …) but it's bananas to say that libertarian thought is under-represented or that people aren't aware of it. Relative to the population its massively over-represented would be my guess, similar to Marxism.

...Actually I read on, this is just agitprop not worth arguing with. Quillette sometimes posts serious, interesting, thoughtful pieces and sometimes stuff saying literary academics are all pseudo-Marxists so hostile to the Enlightenment; i.e. just conservative rage machine fluff.

Is it just that they break this out when they have a slow news day or something?

Where are these mysterious almost-readable Quillette articles? Is it hidden behind the ‘race realism’ trash they churn out?

I haven’t archived stuff I like and don’t now have time to look, no skin off my back if you don’t like anything by them. But to be clear, I didn’t say “almost” readable, I offered straightforward praise.

My apologies. I’m just of the opinion that a media source started by a ‘race realist’ that does what it can to promote IQ rubbish and churns out filler, even if it produces a single gem of an article, inevitably taints it. But you may disagree.

That, and (if I remember correctly) giving a platform to TERF scum.

No worries! I got no especial love for them, but also no real commitment to publications being tainted (... ok other than the Daily Mail). I’m genuinely indifferent as to what people think of it as a venue!

On this (the Daily Mail) at least we find common ground.
