Political theorist (Univ. of Toronto). Toronto/NYC. Realism, liberalism, toleration, privilege and opportunity, Hume, political ethics—and politics, humo(u)r, puns. Also husband, dad, stepdad.

Americans seem to think we are
immune to such a fate or, worse, that they would find themselves to be the beneficiaries. "Sure," they seem to think "the violent breakdown of social
order might be bad for some. But I'm built different." Some deserving elites may die, but the virtuous will win out.
And if not the virtuous, then at least the clever and deserving. As a friend noted, "They watch Mad Max and see themself as Max, never as the poor bastards tied to the front bumpers of the dune buggies.”
