On this week’s podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Geoff Shullenberger. Geoff is a teacher at NYU and an accomplished author and thinker. He is one of the world’s leading experts on the work of Rene Girard. We had a far-ranging discussion covering:
- What is the new right? What does conservatism mean now?
- Ayn Rand as the intellectual ancestor of everyone on the “new right”.
- The David Pogue article in Vanity Fair – it’s a very important piece.
- JD Vance and compassionate individualism
- Christopher Rufo and his anti-CRT crusade
- Anti-partisanship
- The firing of Felicia Sonmez at the Washington Post
- Elite Overproduction – is there such a thing and is this theory credible?
- The myth of scarcity
- Rene Girard, mimicry, social contagion, and transgender kids
- And much more
I highly recommend listening to the whole thing, I learned a lot from Geoff and I think he is a great intellectual.
You can find Geoff’s writing on his blog Outsider Theory and in Compact Magazine as well as on Twitter.
