RUDYARD AND JAMES LINDSAY VS THE STREISAND EFFECT
I wouldn’t overstate the US and world shift until it’s taken root. The swing is always back and forth.

That said:

Rudyard is close friend and a true believer in religion with a bias in favor of the medieval period. But, he has the most intellectual potential of any of the young people I can find, because while he may be biased, he’s not anchored and fearful of adaptation as he learns – which you can see in his slow and gradual addressing of this issue. So I give him the benefit of the doubt, and wait for him to develop on his own terms at his own rate. But that said, I know my job is judicial (negativa) and his is evangelical (positiva). Both sides of the coin are necessary for human societies.

I view Lindsay as what I said: a good book reviewer, an exceptional advocate and communicator, a center leftist, and otherwise, as an intellectual, unnecessarily a poser (I think it’s a class issue myself). I would have much more optimistic view of him – because he’s still relatively young – if he wasn’t compensating with (hiding behind) arrogance and feminine ridicule, and instead stating his current position and being open to his future evolution.
