        Hi Steven. I wonder if you have seen this new academic paper by a psychoanalyst who claims, in not so nice words, that you are a closeted right winger. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-71891-0_3 …pic.twitter.com/XNXhrAKF07

        The author is arguing that Freudian theory should be given seriously consideration as a valid hypothesis of human behavior? I didn't think anyone still did. Leftist dogma alert as soon as the term neoliberalism is dropped.

        When the first thing mentioned is "Republicans stand up for the rule of law" & that is followed by more #TheRussians™ & #TrumpRussia™ hysteria, then I know that the opinion is propaganda. Neither the Dems nor the GOP are on the side of the right & just; we must end the duopoly

        Also looking forward to reading it. Wonder if you will have something to say on David Deutsch’s latest book in the context of ‘enlightenment’.

        A Kindle version would be absolutely nice.
