Remember the Age of Enlightenment? Me either, before my time too. Sometimes called the Age of Reason. Currently, human reason, rational minds, are not exactly dominating the American scene. And, as a result, governance will only be harder. Conspiracism owns the day.

How dare people think conspiracy theories such as it being likely COVID-19 escaped from a Chinese lab, Hunter’s laptop wasn’t actually Russian disinformation as 51 former intelligence officials claimed, or Joe Biden wasn’t sharp as a tack but only had jetlag. I wonder if the current popularity of seeking alternatives to the official narrative might be in some way motivated by voices of authority constantly being found to be lying. Do you think that might play a part?Remember the Age of Enlightenment? Me either, before my time too. Sometimes called the Age of Reason.

Peter Thiel is the latest pro-Trump luminary to take a conspiracist turn.
This bit buried deep in your linked Atlantic piece was amusing to me.
“As Naomi Klein’s Doppelganger wisely notes, “The line between unsupported conspiracy claims and reliable investigative research is neither as firm nor as stable as many of us would like to believe.” Thiel is right that some liberal commentators and mainstream outlets were too quick to dismiss the question of whether COVID-19 originated anywhere other than a Wuhan meat market. At one point, a New York Times reporter suggested on Twitter that racism underlay any suspicions that the virus had escaped from a research lab.”
Peter Thiel is correct, but how can he even suggest the thing to have been correct about? That is conspiracy theory!

Hey, did you hear about that Trump-loving J6 couple who threw a bomb and permanently injured a cop? He got five years. His wife got no years. Yeah, those J6ers really got off easy. Oh, wait, my mistake. They were not J6 defendants. They were a couple of Antifa scumbags who were mad because conservative commentator Michael Knowles was going to speak about transgender baloney.

The Fed Can’t Pin Inflation on Trump
The central bank has the power to maintain stable prices, and there is more to the President-elect’s economic policy than tariffs.The Federal Reserve first blamed high inflation on the Covid-19 pandemic. Then the war in Ukraine became the accepted contrivance. The Fed’s stories came wrapped in gauzy rhetoric about supply-chain disruptions. Now that these excuses have grown tired and outdated, leading monetary policymakers have developed a new scapegoat for inflation: President-elect Trump’s proposed tariffs.
