This Twitter post has been getting some (obviously justified) pushback:
"honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first"
If you didn't know, "problematic" is leftwingspeak for "holds unapproved opinions."
Harvard Law professor Adrian Vermeule remarked, "This is being mocked, but in a way it is the most intellectually consistent version of moralized liberalism: we simply cannot read anything from before the Awokening."
He continued: "Most liberal intellectuals are less consistent: they selectively dismiss the moral 'problems' of the authors they like as inessential to the author’s thought...while claiming that the moral 'problems' of the authors they dislike are disqualifying."
I can't imagine how alienating it must be to have to reconcile these two features of your life: (1) your unwavering belief that people who reject your ideas are hopeless reprobates or at the very least "problematic," and you must isolate yourself from them, and also (2) those ideas were unknown to and would have been rejected by essentially everyone who ever lived.
European travel must be intolerable for such people: they are gazing upon the creations of a civilization that stood for everything they hate, and yet who can be unmoved by its architecture, its music, its poetry, its art?
Not long ago we discovered something most of us already suspected: people who identify as politically "liberal" report higher rates of depression and anxiety and lower psychological well-being compared to conservatives.
You'd think that might make them stop and think: if I'm miserable, and if people who reject my ideology are less miserable, shouldn't I start asking myself some hard questions?
You'd think, wouldn't you?
Now I obviously can't give you an ironclad guarantee, because there will always be outliers, but what I can do is minimize the likelihood that one of your precious ones becomes like our "I can't read anymore because nobody is pure enough for me" friend above.
Thus I recommend the K-12 Ron Paul Curriculum for homeschoolers, where students are exposed to true and beautiful things and are taught to look on the past as a (sometimes flawed) repository of wisdom, not a source of backwardness and stupidity.
Parents, I made this video for you in which I run through what the curriculum is like and how it works, and I hope you find it helpful (having created several courses for the curriculum myself, I am intimately acquainted with it):
