Well, I don't know where my first comment went, but here's a question: I get how academia has grown "anti-science" in response to some issues (i.e. gender), but I wonder if there is a counter movement that seeks to wipe out any resistance to the dominant dogmas. For example, the "trust the science" movement during the pandemic, advocating the universal imposition of a vaccine, essentially the enforcement of a medical intervention. Because "science". So how about these (complementary?) developments? The more one strays away from science in some areas, the more one invokes it in other areas?
I've only read Cleckley, but based on his inclusion, I'll be checking out more on this list. If you like Cleckley, also check out Political Ponerology, by Andrew Lobaczewski (about which I write on my stack).

Havel is essential, if only for the greengrocer part.

Excellent! Please do continue to post here. I was just wondering a few days ago how your Mailer contributions were going.
