Message: <blockquote data-quote="A Man Called Charolais" data-source="post: 71457">Well I'm pleased that you've updated your signature.  As I said some time ago, you provide me with an opportunity to use your posts as a sounding board.  It would be a little ridiculous to post:"Engage in curiosity rather than rancour - this is the path to enlightenment." to somebody else but the low-tier nature of your engagement here provides that chance.  It's a sound enough piece of wisdom and something that shouldn't have to be repeated.  It exhibits a lack of cultural capital in you that you should have to be advised of it.  That British education you received wronged you.This is interesting:'Of all writers about the concept of PROGRESS, I found Hegel to be in many respects the most interesting, even though his prose is often fantastically dense and difficult to read. Hegel posited that, for all of its bloodiness and strife, human history is moving inexorably towards a universal rule of reason and law.Marx famously borrowed Hegel’s concept of history—a progressive development of the spirit (thought and understanding)—and he used it to formulate a theory of history progressing by means of successive class struggles for the means of material production.Marx’s ambitious theories of history and political economy are such gross oversimplifications of complex reality that they have never had any explanatory or predictive utility. However, because his theory of “class struggle” is rooted in the archetypal narrative of conflict between overlords and underdogs, it taps into the widespread and fervent passions of resentment and envy....Recently I was reminded of this while reading the purported “scholarship” of Harvard President, Claudine Gay. Perusing her publishing resume reveals an all-consuming obsession with race—an obsession that yields no insight, practical ideas for improvement, or hope. Every paragraph I scanned was tendentious and excruciatingly boring.'<a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/the-intellectual-nullity-of-todays" target="_blank">The Intellectual Nullity of Today's Left - A tradition that began with Robespierre has ended with brain death. - Courageous Discourse substack</a></blockquote>
