I chat to anonymous poster (by night) and Wall Street analyst (by day), Apex, about the values and assumptions that are at the base of our current order.

We talk about: liberalism's love affair with autonomy, oversocialization as a useful lens borrowed from uncle Ted himself, "the marketplace of ideas" and the expert class, libertarianism and its discontents, and much more.

His recommended subversive is John Safranek with his book "The myth of Liberalism"
