Do you want to know which of your friends were cowards?

Read Bloom's book, The Closing of the American Mind. Anyone who reads it with an open mind will realize how mistaken it is to consider these discussions as hyperintellectual, and "fictional". Our outlooks on left and right are profoundly affected by these thinkers. We like to believe our thoughts and convictions are our own, but we are far more conditioned by the great thinkers-- even when we don't agree with them-- than we think.

What's truly most amazing about these hyper-intellectual scholars is that they actually present, posit, discuss, debate, battle, come to blows (no pun with Bloom), over a fictional world created by philosophers. Bloom at one point says about the charm of Markuese (sp?): "A Marxian analysis of the present and a NIetzchean hope for the future after the revolution" ! Ooookay then Bloom. What planet is this going to happen on? I'd like to watch

The fact that the left incorporates ideas of the right is only more evidence of their genius to absorb any form of logical evidence against their anti-natural worldview in the midst of the obvious.
100 Million dead from communism deters them as much as Mike Tyson's date saying 'no.'
It is for this reason that I like the idea of Rightist-Gramscianism, coming from the most brilliant Marxist ever (including Marx himself, IMO).
Nietzche did posit that leftism has a biological root....
