@moveincircles Easy, Camille Paglia. Sex, Art and American Culture. Read it after my first year at university in the early 90s. Saved me from taking post-strukturalist/post-modernist BS seriously.
@jessesingal Very strange world. I am sitting in a bar in Bergen, Norway, finding this photo strangely endearing. Like a snapshot of old friends. I have listened to every single BarPid episode.
Jeg har skrevet en kronikk i Aftenposten i morgen om den digitale utvandringen fra X til Bluesky - tilgjengelig på nett fra i kveld.

@HPluckrose Helen is right - wokism's US roots stem from the Puritan tradition, not just atheism. Puritan moralism, sense of chosenness, & tendencies towards control outlived secularization, shaping America's cultural DNA, enabling wokism's rise regardless of religious identity.

Bildet av mannen, flagget, blodet og knyttneven er ikke bare et portrett av Donald Trump, det er en visjon av Amerika slik mange ønsker å se nasjonen - sterk, stolt og uredd. Skriver jeg i en lengre tekst i Minerva i dag.

@daniel_dsj2110 It’s a fantastic read. I think I had a reference to it in all my university papers during the 90s. I recently reread his critique of Foucault at the end of the book. It resonates even more today. I saw him give a lecture in Oslo, Norway in the late 80s.
@HPluckrose You are the most clear minded defender of the liberal tradition I have come across Hellen. Still alive. You have a a supernatural ability to explain post modern theory. You do great work. It is very much appreciated. But I am curious why you bother with people like this?
