Some context: I used to ask “what are you working on?” but I learned some people would rather not talk about it for various reasons. So the more general “what are you excited about in your field?” lets them EITHER talk about what they’re working on or some other interest.

A center for conservative thought creates a market test: can its scholars develop logical, strong, useful ideas that stand up to the intellectual questioning of students and colleagues? It may be hard to defend racism & autocracy good, science bad, oligarchs should get all society’s wealth, etc
“Us vs. them” mentality is not the way to intellectual progress nor to a healthy democratic debate.👇

There are no homogeneous blocks but loose webs of ideas and those in power pick and choose depending on the interests of the moment. Having a stronger broader web of ideas that have been tested through intellectual debate is useful.
