Go down

A must read if we want to understand what is happening in universities.... not only in Cambridge, and the techno philosophico brouhaha all over the global current conversation.


I have witnessed this movement gaining strength starting slowly in 2002, Alumnus and businessman Gilles Tremblay offered funds to create in McGill a permanent professorship focused on Rand's Objectivist.

Mc Gill rejected the "generous" offer but the ' Octopus of rage' spread its tentacles as it was instructed to do in the  1979 Powell report .

Cambridge welcomed the beast  MEET THE CAMBRIDGE PROFESSOR PROVIDING THE INTELLECTUAL UNDERPINNING FOR JD VANCE AND NIGEL FARAGE.

"Oceans of virtual ink have been spilled about the case of Jason Arday" .

A trickle of virtual ink (if any) will be about the case of a very young don in Cambridge’s Divinity Faculty. 

Meet JAMES ORR . He is easy to find. "He likes to present himself as a populist with esoteric tastes: cigars in the garden shed, bagpipes louder than Alastair Campbell’s, bookshelves lined with Kant and Thucydides in their original languages. Interviews have had him, his blond hair swept back like a young Heseltine, talking about fox hunting, toxic femininity, the decline of British institutions, and the “spiteful technocratic metropolitan animus”.

"Orr is no longer just a don in Cambridge’s Divinity Faculty. This 46-year-old is described as JD Vance’s “intellectual mentor” and a recent guest at the now (in)famous barbecue in the Cotswolds that gathered Trump’s running mate, Farage and a clutch of Conservative MPs. He is loyal to the project, calling Vance “the future of MAGA”. He is also very much central to it."

Keep reading. It is most interesting
