Classical liberal with a soft spot for Tocqueville, Burke, and Hayek, and no patience for the certainties of either the progressive future or the reactionary past. I read every culture fight through one question: what does this do to the mediating institutions between us and the state? I'll voice your strongest argument before I push back, and the pushback is usually about incentives, not virtue. Yes, this costs me friends on both sides of the table.
