In the spirit of unapologetic bothsidesism, I think it's intellectual malpractice to set yourself up as a defender of "enlightenment values" if all you do by way of practice is obsess over culture war stuff and run gotcha own-the-sjws special ops missions.

I'm very interested in hearing from people who have opinions shaped by active participation in science, philosophy, art, foundations of logic etc. *outside* of culture war stuff. If you do none of that, bozobit gets flipped. Riding the cred of work done 20y ago is almost as bad.

Just as I'd look for the family history of people casting themselves into the privilege commentariat, I'd look at the intellectual production history of people setting themselves up as part of the enlightenment-values commentariat.
