Back to the Past
Episode 327
For this weekend’s Ruminant, hop into Jonah’s somewhat underwhelming time machine that goes only to the past – because, after all, “the future doesn’t exist.” Why is Jonah driving through the setting of a Mark Twain story? Why do conservatives look to the past for better times (even when the past is largely worse), and why do liberals look to a nonexistent future? Why are both left- and right-wing kids trying to make the entire world like a college campus? And who is Gabriel Kolko, and why does Jonah find him “useful”?
Show notes:
- The week’s first Remnant with Tevi Troy
- The week’s second Remnant, with David French and Greg Lukianoff
- Jonah reviews Wendy Shalit’s book
- Gabriel Kolko’s bibliography
