“At a deeper level, however, what we’re looking at here is the impact of post-truth politics. We live in an era in which politicians and the supposed experts who serve them never feel obliged to acknowledge uncomfortable facts, in which no argument is ever dropped, no matter how overwhelming the evidence that it’s wrong.”

Wow, such an expertly nuanced statement. So many shades of Gray to consider. So much intellectual gravitas on display. It could only come from an ivy league intellect and from one so superior and so learned.

I feel so stupid. I didn't know all this crap you just said.
