      I have a theory about takes like this. @olivertraldi and @DouthatNYT, I'd love some feedback. Basically, it's a story of elite overproduction. The job market for journalists and writers has collapsed, even as J Schools and MFA programs churn out grads at a record clip.https://twitter.com/JeffreyASachs/status/1294381269606961152 …

      Meanwhile, many of the most important stories of the day require in-depth knowledge of a specialized field (e.g. public health, climate science, global finance) that few have the patience or ability to master.

      Lastly, up until quite recently, ours was an extraordinary period of relative peace and prosperity, at least in North America. No Cold War to report, a terrorist threat in retreat. So what's an aspiring journalist to do? What crusade can he join? What mission can he make his own?

      Simple: The Culture War. No special knowledge is seemingly required. The barriers to entry are low. Fellow elites are likewise obsessed and eager to play along. And as for the stakes, they are hilariously easy to inflate. The result speaks for itself.pic.twitter.com/7euu8HYPF4

      How do we solve this problem? Partly it will take care of itself. As the journo market continues to crash, media elites will have to leave the business, abandon Brooklyn, and learn a respectable trade. I don't know, maybe become academics. COVID no doubt accelerates these trends.

      In the meantime, I suspect that people like Yang or Weiss, young journalists who cut their teeth in the Culture War trenches, will grow angrier, more frustrated, and more competitive with their fellow elites. I call this the Aggressor Ideology, and folks it will not be pretty.

      Weird that you would think @wesyang would become "angrier and more frustrated." He is one of the calmest and most dispassionate writers on Twitter. Read your Del Noce if you think the conversion of the national culture to identity-progressivism is not a big deal.

          Jeffrey is making a strawman out of me in his never-ending quest for Twitter clout -- it's pure projection all the way down. In my case, nobody has engaged with my extensive body of work on this and related subjects could possibly accept his characterization as correct.
