Response to Adam Ozimek. Forbes.
Adam.
Hard not seeing this statement as An instance if postmodern critique : a straw vehicle to criticise what appears to be a transitional revolutionary the consequence of which might demonstrate further diminution of public intellectuals. Which is the central value trump provides to the populace.
My read is quite different: that just as pseudoscience is being incrementally pressed from the academy by Internet access and contemporary research; just as media manipulation of the body politic is being deprecated; the public intellectual is deprecated. And the alliance between media, intellectual, academy and state is coming undone.
Trump is not going to be unique. He is teaching the next generation of politicians how to conduct political debate in the new century.
Welcome to the revolution. 😉
