Excellent, nuanced, and balanced with well supported arguments. Just the antidote to the problem described.
I particularly liked “For progressives and liberals to regain credibility, Pluckrose advises them to consistently self-correct and admit their past errors. Yet, there is a tendency to persist in their illiberal ideologies, leading to a situation where both the left and the right define themselves through competing missions and don’t know when – or how – to quit.”
If there is one place to focus corrective intention, it must surely be in answering the ‘how’ of it. Maybe that starts with the id and the ego working in harmony with critical thinking. A rigorous dedication to honesty, both to self and others has to be the first step.
Excellent points.
