I bought The Cult of Smart. Interesting take that I haven't otherwise come across. Bummer on losing your key contact at the publisher. Those behind-the-scenes activities can have a huge impact that I don't know if people always understand or appreciate. There are countless films, records, and books that go unwatched, unheard, unread due to almost bureaucratic happenstance. I have a feeling your thesis will land in the future when the time is right.

Take Eagles -7. I'm a rabid long term Giants fan. I watched every single game here in FL. The truth of the matter is that Giants are simply in a different weight class this season. It is what it is. And with Saquon possibly sidelined this line is a gimme.

I’m sure all the reasons you list for The Cult of Smart not doing well are truly contributors.

But there’s also this: the world is not ready for this truth. It requires people across the ideological spectrum to grapple with shibboleths they are not even remotely prepared to release.

You’re ahead of your time.

Eric Topol is one of the loser twitter hypochondriacs who push lockdowns, masks, and vaccines at every opportunity, solely for self-promotion. He deserves a spot on your Good White Men list.
