I don't think he gets RPW right, but the post has some interesting parallels to Hirschman's rhetoric of reaction and progressivism.<br /><br />But the comments attached to Friedman's post quickly degenerate into looney tunes: irrelevant tangents, personal abuse, narcissism of small differences, and other forms of trollery. How very different from the home life of your own dear blog.

For my comments see my recent blog post on the subject:<br /><br />http://daviddfriedman.blogspot.com/2013/04/which-side-are-you-on-robert-wolff.html<br /><br />A recording of my talk is also webbed, for those who are interested:<br /><br />http://www.daviddfriedman.com/MyTalks/Vinge.mp3<br /><br />I don't know if any of the other talks have been webbed, although I think I noticed someone video recording Wolff's.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543763515095867595noreply@blogger.com
