Curt on who is reforming 20th century mysticism

Love that you’ve tuned into Jonathan Haidt! According to my friend Curt, here is the list of people reforming 20th century mysticism (as Hayek called it).

The Emerging Consensus :
– Paul Romer (mathematics or ‘Mathiness’ )
– Nassim Taleb (anti-fragility) or, information requirements.
– Ricardo Duchesne (uniqueness of western man)
– Kevin Macdonald (group evolutionary strategies)
– Curt Doolittle (Truth, Trust, Law, and Institutions)
— Jonathan Haidt’s (morality)
— Pinker (who started it all – psychology)
— Daniel Kahneman (mind)
– Stephen Hicks (Postmodernism) (Reluctantly Associated I’m sure)
– Nial Ferguson (Economics) (Possibly Reluctantly Associated)
– Martin van Creveld (The Culture of Warfare)
– Emmanuel Todd (The Evolution of Western Morality and Identity)
— Meng Hu (statistics ‘anecdote is not data’)
– Steven Hsu (statistics, intelligence and genetics)
– Jayman (genetics and history)
– HBD Chick (the institutions of marriage and family)
