Some highlights…
* "The most outspoken members of society shape opinions and shift the center significantly."
* "Twitter is often a cesspool of stupidity, yet it's also where the most opinionated gather to shape culture, art, politics, and philosophy."
* "Our current commentary culture encourages edgy takes supported by selective evidence, yet fails to challenge the deeper complexities of truth."
* "The alt-right's fixation on certain idols as a response to the perceived instability of the Symbolic order in our postmodern era is a clinging to these idols as a way to anchor their sense of self in a world where meaning seems increasingly fragmented and uncertain."
* "They've mistaken the inversion of values for their transcendence, and in doing so, have fallen prey to the very nihilism they claim to despise."
