I haven’t written the review yet, but this month’s Prestigious Ashurbanipal Award goes to @DavidAFrench's Divided We Fall! 1/5

I was surprised & choked up by the shout out to me & @TheFIREorg!
"One of my favorite people in all of the [US] is my liberal civil libertarian friend Greg Lukianoff. Greg is the president of [FIRE], one of the last truly non-partisan civil liberties [orgs] in the [US]." 2/5
David is indeed one of my favorite people as well & I learned so much from working with him. FIRE tries to model genuine viewpoint diversity internally & I have learned endless lessons from working with smart, thoughtful folks on the other side of the political spectrum. 3/5
As a practical matter having people on staff helps you see controversies from a completely different POV & has kept us from making mistakes in judgment.
At a deeper level it’s increased my compassion & understanding for people with profoundly different beliefs. 4/5
I normally hate “there are two kind of people in the world” arguments, but I am increasingly thinking there are 2 camps: one that wants to win the culture war & those of us who want to protect & sustain the republic.
David & I are very much in the latter camp. 5/5
