One direct example is the notion that certain forms of speech including reactionary rhetoric should not be tolerated if they undermine social progress and equity. Allan Bloom again comes to mind: “The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that...
As continuing demands are placed upon individuals by increasingly stratified and intolerable social models, society must either adapt these to stiffle increasingly reactionary and resilient forms of behaviour, or re-engineer humanity to endure ever more regimentation.

Here we see the authoritarianism of this form of progressive politics: How does evolutionary biology begin to divest from its eugenicist and ableist history and assumptions? First, it must demonstrate a constructive response to criticism; the field must be open to critique and engage wit...
I guess that we’ll see where all this takes us. I don’t think that there will be any major reactionary backlashes. The arrow of time points in one direction and social progress tends to align with that arrow. As far as I’m concerned, the real problem is that lots of people are...
