Enjoyed this Ed. BTW - the second paragraph of the second block quote beginning "Foucault has brilliantly analyzed the ideal project of these environments of enclosure.." seems to have lost its ending...
“As you say, the two political parties in America are weak. As a result the establishment has lost much of it cultural and moral authority to represent society. Whether your perception of Trump is accurate or not is yet to be seen. He has created a coalition of Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals that suggest that he will be a far more complex picture that is presented to us. I take my perspective on the purpose of an establishment in society from Edward Shils essay Center and Periphery, that I describe here- https://edbrenegar.substack.com/p/as-the-center-does-not-hold-the-periphery?utm_source=publication-search. I welcome a revived political and social establishment that can unify the nation. I do believe that it is up to us as we express our expectations for our leaders in actions that support the whole of society.”

Thank you for spotting my mistake. I've corrected the quote.

Have you read Lasch and Gurri? Lots of similarities here. The podcasts were definitely key. https://adamkaraoguz.substack.com/p/these-two-books-contain-the-sum-of
Read Lasch. Not Gurri.
Will do so.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Wise words. Thank you Ed.
WORD!
