Among the worst disasters for progressivism in recent decades has been the work of Aaron Sorkin, whose impossibly articulate ratatat dialogue made it way too easy to imagine sexy technocrats saving the world. It’s great entertainment, but normalized unreasonable expectations of the flawed human beings who happen to have high IQs and impeccable credentials.
Unbelievable, but their vanity prevents the ruling class from seeing their own foolishness. Like Glenn Reynolds ( Yale Law, ‘85 ) says: Abolish the Ivy League.
Beautiful lines here: "Moyers programming shaped my whole sense of humanistic possibility, of the crackling potential when nuanced thinkers can empathetically come together. Years of disillusioning experience have forced me to question if that too was largely a fantasy. Not quite, I don’t believe—not so long ago, the range of respectable discourse was broader, attention spans longer, and technology limited for seamless video editing. Before this age of personalized partisan silos, opposing advocates had to jostle for the same common ground."
For me it's not so much the passing of an era "credible authorities" as it is an awakening to the cultural Marxism that has existed and now reigns over the country in which i was born. Unfortunately, the GAE also helped spread that same illness militarily, politically and financially across the world.
