I've said before the culture gulf isn't political, it's now in theories of mind - and this Schwab piece defines it. They have a view that the self and the individual are just artifacts of language, and they can use narrative to reshape almost all of human experience.

His argument reduces to separating people from "reality," then placing himself and his ideas as the centre of the ensuing chaos, and managing the conflicts his network has caused itself. He has a zero-sum view of the world based on power actuated by language. He's really bad news. They should call this The Nihilist Manifesto.
