to perform a certain kind of allegorical work in showing how liberalism could be possible, how it could be possible to disagree with each other and still live in a non-constant state of war. And failures of criticism or failures of authority and criticism tend to augur some sort of political crisis or catastrophe. Right. And how are we seeing these failures of criticism now?

You know, we're seeing a version of that now in a very real way, right? So, like, there is a line from criticism the way it was being practiced at Columbia by Said, Edward Said, and other post-colonial scholars, right, to pro-Palestine demonstrations at Columbia, the sending in of the police, right?

And now, of course, we're seeing the essentially like secret police style disappearance of people with green cards. And it's not to say that like all of these are the same thing, right? But the fear is that when criticism sort of gets out of hand or starts claiming authority that it doesn't really have...

And that was certainly what was being said about postcolonial critique or other forms of left-minded criticism that were being practiced in the academy. The fear about that is that it is going to break down nice, good, polite society. These students are behaving like terrible critics. They're not staying in the classroom and reading the book and accepting that...

you know, the work of art is its own thing that is limited to itself and gets to be viewed an abstraction and separate from the rest of the world. They're saying, no, actually, the ideas that we might read about actually matter. So I'm going to go to actually try and do something about that. And so some of what I'm interested in is just trying to understand what are the implicit stakes of

I fully believe in holding conflicting ideas in your head at the same time. It's called dialectics. It's great. I love it. I do it every day.
