Can anyone recommend a smart conservative for me to challenge my views with and learn?
Requirements:
1) Must be alive (I'm already familiar with Friedman, Hayek, Von Mises, etc)
2) Must have a PhD in a technical discipline. I don't respect the opinion of lay people.
Any sources?
Also looking for cool conservatives to follow. Can anyone list a particularly talented artist who is conservative?

[QUOTE=NYPat;1700586813]Kristi Noem[/QUOTE]LOL bachelor's degree.
Here's what you posted in another thread:
[QUOTE=GhostofCricket;1700580513]Academia sucks ass. They exploit grad students, and it amounts to slave wages. There's a toxic culture of "I endured it, so should you!" as well, mostly enforced by boomer professors and admins whose last real encounter with the jobs economy was 20 years ago. We train more PhDs than there are jobs available. The university system needs reform, but that is a topic for a different thread.[/QUOTE]
You then agreed with the following wholeheartedly, to the point where you were defending it:
[QUOTE=Bodhy;1700584793]Agree.
I would be the first one to write out a big list of problems with academia. It ain't no picnic. Publish or perish syndrome, bureaucracy, the paradigmatic and disciplinary snobbery, falsification of research data, [B]suppressing non-mainstream opinions[/B]...[/QUOTE]
So let me ask again, why do you have that PhD requirement if you want your views challenged?
Or why is it that you think that someone would need to be from the other side of a binary political affiliation to challenge your views?

OP, you could try Patrick Deneen.
He wrote an interesting book called Why Liberalism Failed which argues liberalism is not a neutral ideology, because when you erode religion and tradition etc. you must be coercive which is pretty un-liberal of itself.
Hence, you get despair and this fuels anti-liberalism movements.
He is a thinker who seems to be spearheading an anti-capitalist conservative movement.

Just one. I feel like Diogenes searching for one honest man.

FML delusions of grandeur much wincel?
You're a homebound drain on society that isn't even capable of functioning in life.

You've made 465 posts in just a couple of days. Maybe... just maybe now, that time would be better spent researching yourself instead of playing your worn out wannabe intellectual shtick here on this small subsection of a bodybuilding forum.
