The Dark Enlightenment is libertarians mugged by reality, a libertarian who realizes that the eighteenth century was right about women, and Bull Conner right about blacks..

History interpreted as left singularities
History is one damn thing after another, and any attempt to make sense of it necessarily leads to leaving out lots of important stuff. Thus making sense of it by looking at it in one way does not necessarily falsify making sense of it by looking at it in another way.
