    "The great achievement of Western culture since the Enlightenment is to make many of us peer over the wall and grant some respect to people outside it; the great failure of Western culture is to deny that walls are inevitable or important.” - James Q. Wilson

    Left-Wing Professors Probably Do Brainwash Students (1/ ) : the facts show that overwhelmingly left wing faculties at US universities do not exploit their power to brainwash students. I disagree.

    It is tempting to dismiss the Culture War as an inconsequential internet-driven diversion, and on one level it is no doubt just that. At the same time, however, the Culture War reveals with striking clarity the constitutive tensions in the contemporary macropolitics.

    Many of the rows started in this area are indeed substantively trivial. But the whole point of culture/identity conflicts is the central importance of symbols and the values associated with them.

    On the one hand, identity is a social relation, not an individual property, and it depends on recognition and reinforcement from others. However, the deception involved in performing an identity on which one has no legitimate claim *undermines* the authenticity of said identity

    There's a shift in language here from "being" to "identifying" as queer. This fluidity (& frankly cynicism) damages/cheapens any ontological claims moderates might see as valid.

    The concept of a "mobilisation of bias" is useful here. Certain procedures and predominant values operate to systematically benefit certain narratives to the detriment of others.

    Given its outsized influence and reputation for neutrality, I'm surprised no one has made a rigorous effort to study bias in Wikipedia editing. Anecdotally, it seems like motivated editors use a labyrinth of rules to get their way.

    This phenomenon certainly exists, and it is important. There is a bidirectional struggle both to marginalise certain concepts as illegitimate and to legitimate or "naturalise" previously illegitimate themes.

    The discourse landscape changes over the years. Some concepts are popularized and other concepts fall into obscurity. What is true or most useful doesn't matter much. The two strongest drivers of this process are material for conversation and institutional propaganda needs.

    In social settings, Colonel Hoare was shy and introverted, but he overcame this and practiced bold­ness in every part of his life because he saw its tremendous power. His son, Chris, said Hoare "lived by the philosophy that you get more out of life by living dangerously".

    Adam Tooze is one of the best left-wing writers and intellectuals on Twitter. He is capable of speaking simultaneously to military historians, political economists, historians of neoliberalism, and economic sociologists. It’s like a merger of Paul Kennedy and David Harvey.

    Barbours In The Falklands - rather fascinating piece on the convergence of military self-help with "Sloane ranger" fashion in 1982.

    Margaret Thatcher discovered Hayek's The Road to Serfdom while at Oxford University in the 1940s. There is a famous story of her visiting the Conservative Research Department, dropping Hayek’s Constitution of Liberty on the table and declaring: ‘This is what we believe in.’

    Syriza embodies another case of interweaving political philosophy and democratic radicalism. Rena Dourou, Yanis Varoufakis, and Fotini Vaki are all alumni of Essex University. Dourou completed an MA in Ideology and Discourse Analysis in 2001.

    Academic influence is stronger among political elites. Podemos, for example, were deeply influenced by the Argentine academic Ernesto Laclau and his Belgian wife Chantal Mouffe. Their 1985 book, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, remains a key point of reference.

    Arguably there may be economies of scale in certain industries, such as the pharmaceutical sector. However, it is not easy to think of examples of other industries where scale is constrained by the size of the U.S. labour market.

    If Noah's arguments were valid, they would destroy the case for restricting immigration at all. In general, immigration *does* make the economy bigger (GDP) but that does *not* necessarily make us on average better off (GDP per capita).

    Hey everyone I just thought of a way to solve slow growth, it rhymes with "shlimmigration"

    St Hilda's decision is a classic example of what Eric Kaufmann () calls ‘asymmetrical multiculturalism’- the idea that "immigrants should retain their ethnicity while Anglo Saxons should forsake their uptight heritage for cosmopolitanism".
