Back Towards The Locus

A rather inspiring talk from Dan Hind, the author of The Threat To Reason…

“Compared with state-corporate assaults on the public’s ability to understand matters of deep importance, the chosen targets of the Folk Enlightenment pale into insignificance. While the folksy defenders of the Enlightenment are quick to denounce fantasy and paranoia, they give us precious few grounds to believe that they are not themselves lost in a sort of intellectual fugue.

Why on earth should one limit one’s concerns to enemies of the Enlightenment who sportingly identify themselves as such?”
