DNF from me. Was a fun angle, but the horror elements felt too on the nose.

Culturally, what’s lost are the best things in the world - because without objectivity, we can’t tell the best from the second, or the 75th best.

Politically, what’s lost is democracy. The logical terminus of “thinking it makes it so” politics is fascism. 3/3

@vladvexler.bsky.social, many would argue (me included) that “no right answers” discourse is actually *parasitic* on an implicitly accepted objectivity.

That seems the proper way to understand objectivity and its ‘counterparts’. We can only irrationally feign leaning fully into “anything goes”.

Been thinking for the last 9 months…

Norms are only binding rules in virtue of us TREATING them as binding. Therefore, there is no rule that can constrain a determined cheat.

The better word for that rule would be a “magic spell”.

Why not at least noncommittally just read a few of Kirk’s explicit claims? Let the audience judge for themselves?

IMO, to whitewash him is to normalize extremism. That cannot be good for our politics either.

Whatever comes of good ol’ “Trump & Epstein”, it sure is funny to watch his own conspiracist Frankenstein chase him around the world.

This piece was extremely refreshing amid a deluge of false and/or extremely generous representations of Kirk.
