Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know.

Superb discussion of its vital subject matter, well worth being passionately ignorant of now more than ever.

The Left used to be the party of the hippies and the free spirits. Now it’s home to woke scolds and humorless idealogues. The New Puritans can judge a person’s moral character by their clothes, Netflix queue, fast food favorites, the sports they watch, and the company they keep. No choice is neutral, no sphere is private. Not since the Puritans has a political movement wanted so much power over your thoughts, hobbies, and preferences every minute of your day. In the process, they are sucking the joy out of life.

Moral Minority: Uh-Yes, Rothman!
Revisado: 07-15-22
Brilliant must read (hear). The author is both a trained thespian and leading public intellectual, so the sophisticated performance is as pleasing to listen to as the incisive analysis is illuminating to consider. Moreover, he’s right. Sanctimonious scolds have, indeed, taken over the left, and now hector us ceaselessly over the supposed moral failings inherent to our vocabulary, diet, art, entertainment, athletics, clothing, pronouns, relationships, children’s books, you name it. Every little thing is now seen as fraught with momentous significance by the hysterical SJW, whose righteous mission is to tutor the rest of us slobs in progressive perfectionism. However, as Noah Rothman’s clever takedown shows—it’s bs. Arm yourself with his insights and you’ll never be at a loss for thoughtful, reasoned comebacks when confronted by these violent “medievals with lattes,” our grim Puritans. Enjoy!

Of the three dominant ideologies of the 20th century - fascism, communism, and liberalism - only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions.

Liberty After Liberalism
Revisado: 06-03-18
This book asks the big questions and gets to some plausible answers by the end, too. If you want to know what it means to be free today, give it a listen.
