I debated posting this request since you didn't ask, but would you please NOT to discuss current event culture war stuff?
I had to quit some great Substacks that started off quite good, but soon devolved into brain dead culture war garbage. I tried to just ignore it, but once it infected the topics like some poisonous weed it eventually destroyed everything. If I wanted culture war, I would watch cable news. I come here to get away from that.
I'm sorry if I sound defensive. I'm just exhausted by it and really appreciate that you focus on ideas rather than what offends you.
I hope this is taken in the spirit it was intended. Thanks
I trust Darryl won't get sucked into the current culture war garbage. But I will say I learned a ton from his series on Jim Jones. Amazing how the leftists movements of the 60's and 70's seemed to have reconstituted again recently. I was much more informed as these movements seemed to get oxygen again.
I thought the same thing. I agree I don't want anything ideological but some stuff on the "roots" of how why people think the way to they do, left and right would be interesting... if you can make it interesting.
There is some interesting material out there that contends that people are actually hardwired to beliefs that are left or right. Through the Wormhole Season 6, Episode 6 'Are we all Bigots' which explores the workings of the brain in terms of bias, impulse and tribalism. It is very enlightening.

Do not fear.

Correction, Season 6, Episode 1
Sounds to me like it's you focusing on what offends you instead of the ideas.
