My article on woke institutions was covered at The Washington Post in an op-ed by Greg Sargent. See also Arnold Kling, and Bryan Caplan again. Curtis Yarvin responds to the piece, and some other essays. There’s a lot there, but I don’t think I buy the idea that if you’re worried about American cultural imperialism, it can only be resisted from within Washington. The Taliban is the clearest counter example I can think of, but there are others too.
Hi Richard, big fan of your work. I'm a socialist so I pretty much have the opposite politics of you on every issue, but I always find your writing engaging, and it makes me sharpen my thinking. What do you think of the idea of workplace democracy or codetermination? It's usually thought of as a left wing idea, but at a lot of companies the majority of workers are socially conservative. Could workplace democracy favor the ordinal preferences of the majority of the workforce rather than the cardinal preferences of a few more dedicated employees?
