Professor Miller, can you please, I mean I'm really, really interested, say what you disagree with in 'The Conquest of Cool'?
Name three authors you think are genuinely worth reading, but who you disagree with about almost everything. I'll start: Michel Foucault ('The History of Sexuality') Catharine MacKinnon ('Toward a Feminist Theory of the State') Thomas Frank ('The Conquest of Cool')

I actually loved 'Conquest of Cool'; it's mostly Thomas Frank's later books that I disagreed with, mostly bc I lean libertarian and he leans kinda socialist.

Marcuse Marx

I'll add Rousseau to these two. Rousseau, a sophist/ moral monster, whose reach in western thought is monumental and whose prose is genuinely beautiful.

Noam Chomsky I'll think about this. But there are reasons, such as knowing what the opposition arguments are, thinking through why they are right or wrong.
