I think the most surprising thing I've learned over the last couple of years is just how insane elite liberal institutions have become. I don't really know what to do about it.
The assertive lunacy of most American elite institutions is a widely held opinion within the elites, but unstated publicly because the retribution isn't worth it. I happen to care less about social sanction than most of my peers.
I keep going back to this thread from @AlecMacGillis. In a set of increasingly bizarre moral panics, American liberals have decided to overlook the costs of destroying society.

It's not just one thing, it's everything. The initial concern before Covid was coming was whether Americans were patronizing Chinese restaurants. Now it's endless Covid panic. Risking war or everyone's on Putin's payroll. Etc.
