how can a person in tyool 2019 take a random twitter insult seriously? does brett stevens have an inner life? i feel like this is an argument for the existence of philosophical zombies. to paraphrase Sam Kinnison, JULIAN JAYNES HAD THE RIGHT IDEA. HE JUST DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH!

imo one of the big upsides to social media is that it's reduced elite media opinion down to the level of posting, and now they're being judged with the same consideration you'd give a demented reddit post.

The only good thing about Twitter is that I can tell the chattering class to go gently caress themselves and there's not much that they can do about it.

it seems sad to me that Bret hasn't realised his role in life is to be a bad right-wing columnist. if you're the Times, what you want in a token right-wing columnist is someone your centre-left liberal audience can read, think "now I've listened to both sides, but turns out I was correct to begin with", and come out the other side as centre-left liberals. if he was a persuasive and competent opinion writer, he'd be replaced by someone who wasn't.

MSNBC propped up right wingers who bucked GOP orthodoxy during the Bush years with Tucker and Buchanan, and the GOP only moved to their direction since. Liberal influencers understand the importance of not wanting to be de-centered, which is why they also hate platforming leftists.
