Absolutely based

I'm partial to Standpoint Magazine here in England - it probably has the best culture sections apart from the Guardian and the LRB, but from a sort of Paleocon angle.

His prose isn't good, but it is hilarious and extremely insightful. It defs isn't for everyone, but Moldbug offers the most original ideas on political philosophy since Nozick imo

Edinburgh's a really nice town - wonderful architecture, and you can walk anywhere. I've never actually been inside Bedlam, but I pass it all the time - Improv doesn't really appeal to me desu.

I'm enjoying Mantel, but I do think Wolf Hall was quite a bit better. The 3 main characters (Camille, Danton, Robespierre) all seem to have the same sort of wry, glib personality. I don't think Mantel talks enough about their ideological developments - so their actions during the course of the revolution seem very abrupt, like Danton just suddenly goes from this fairly apolitical lawyer to a hot-blooded militia commander. There's also alot of quite trite dialogue - near the beginning of the book Camille said something like 'there's going to be a revolution and you'll have to choose a side'.

It's alot to do with exit-based geopolitics (patchwork, sea-steading etc). Also Britain voted to leave the EU right in the middle of the course, so that made for some interesting discussion

He gets into this quite heated and hilarious argument with an academic called Pete Wolfendale
