I just subscribed to Uncommon Knowledge, thanks for the reference. I am a very far left liberal, but if I have to talk politics then I prefer to doing so with my conservative friends rather my with liberal friends. I think having my own viewpoint just reflected back at me gets boring.
I will check this one out (the Hoover one), but I'm skeptical.
I could see, in theory, reading or listening to some conservative stuff, but it just never seems to be honest. Or...lacks basic human decency. Is outright racist. etc.
I do remember, at least think I do, 20 years ago -- you could find at least some people being serious on the right. Eh, I was probably just being naive.
Hoover - last time I saw something from them - it was basically VDH arguing for total war or something.
And...what is with billionaires buying universities' prestige? It's kind of like you can have excellent global heating reporting in the WSJ, and then their OpEd page will say, 'There is no evidence of heating.' Same thing with Hoover and Stanford. Or the Kochs buying...everything. I guess Unis are on even shakier ground now. :-/
...checked them all out. Not for me. Except one Rationally Speaking episode about whether global poverty/rate is good/bad.
