On bad ideas as self-destructive first, before they translate into policies that harm others too.

Today at 5 pm Eastern. My remarks will focus on the "Post-Liberal" feature of the New Right, using Patrick Deneen as exemplar, critiquing it and addressing the question of whether it's a new form of Post-modernism.

Bad history in the linked post from PA.
True that many old cultures had no problem with child sex.
The Greeks, though, were tolerant only of pederastic relations after the boy went through puberty, and then only if was in a mentoring context.
Christians also set minimum ages for consent around puberty, e.g., 12 for girls and 14 for boys as in the Church's canon law in the 1100s. Jews similarly, though in a marriage context.
It was only after the Enlightenment of the 1700s that age of consent expectations rose, coinciding with changing modern ideas of reason and maturity of both body and mind.
The raising of the ages of consent occurred most sharply and first in the 1800s in Britain and America, where the Enlightenment had taken hold most strongly.

Highly enjoyable discussion.

How to reform education.

[Stephen R. C. Hicks @SRCHicks]

Philosophers insulting other philosophers, in this case, Alexander Dugin going after Ayn Rand.
I cover Rand and Dugin in my Philosophy of Politics course, devoting a lecture to each.
The two really are opposite in content, style, and character, so I invite you to compare and contrast.
