Mentioned this in Bux's JP thread. I think several of you would find him interesting. He's butted heads with Sam Harris quite publicly and is a real rational voice on matters of politics and what divides Liberal and Conservative mindsets.
Irrefutably sharp and an outspoken and clear minded critic of the effects of Social Justice activism on campuses.
