out of the wilderness, onto the hack: a critique of Charles Murray

Future tense, IX: Out of the wilderness is the latest* semblance of rhetoric to issue forth from Charles Murray’s childlike conservative dogma, and as such provides an excellent illustration of the intellectual laxity which so defines him. I’d like to offer a refutation of his feeble attempt to dismiss over a hundred years of culture – an attempt based on nothing more than straw men and his own prejudices. It’s difficult to write this in a measured tone, for which I apologize, but as a young person, a liberal, a European**, an appreciator of contemporary culture etc., I feel compelled to defend some of the many things upon which Murray has discharged his mucous pseudo-intellectualism.”
