The best thing about recycling my “Imagine No Possessions” post is that it got Forefare Davis, who occasionally has written for us at Postmodern Conservative, to plug his brilliant new essay “Why Secular Liberalism Isn’t Secular” over at the Russell Kirk-inspired University Bookman. It begins with a quote from the Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil,” reviews Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind with spot-on help from René Girard and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and ends with the phrase “today’s ideologically Possessed,” so you know you gotta drop everything and read it right now. It also links to a useful John Gray essay on the New Atheists that I had missed the first time around.
