Earlier this month, <a href="https://quillette.com/2024/11/13/the-centre-must-rise-trump-harris-democrats-us-election/" target="_blank">he</a> and <a href="https://quillette.com/2024/11/12/democrats-must-pick-fights-with-woke-activists-kamala-harris-trump-newsome/" target="_blank">I</a> published articles in <em>Quillette</em> one day apart on a similar theme, which is the need for a sane centrism beyond woke leftism and the Trump cult. We try to distinguish between a kind of libertarian-statist axis and one that focuses on whether institutions are functioning well. I share some thoughts on whether it’s even possible to be a right-wing intellectual at this point.</p><p>We do an AMA near the end. Topics that come up include the future of X, whether Blue Sky will take off (see <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/hananiarichard.bsky.social" target="_blank">my account</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tracewoodgrains.bsky.social" target="_blank">Trace’s</a>), how Trace started working for <em>Blocked and Reported</em>, and Nathan Cofnas’ idea on the only way to defeat wokeness.</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Today’s out-of-context <a href="https://x.com/RichardHanania/status/1860036805070061924" target="_blank">headline controversy</a></p><p>My previous <a href="https://www.richardhanania.com/p/towards-a-gay-ex-mormon-furry-centrism" target="_blank">conversation</a> with Trace</p><p>Me telling people to shut up about <a href="https://www.richardhanania.com/p/shut-up-about-race-and-iq" target="_blank">race and IQ</a>, and <a href="https://www.richardhanania.com/p/how-much-truth-can-we-take" target="_blank">debating Cofnas</a></p><p>Trace’s post-election <a href="https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/kamala-did-not-represent-the-center" target="_blank">reflections</a>, <a href="https://quillette.com/2024/11/13/the-centre-must-rise-trump-harris-democrats-us-election/" target="_blank">followup</a> in <em>Quillette</em></p>
