[David Green]

With the exception of the New Yorker, I wish everyone a New Year of renewal.

 "I must say, the New Yorker has become an awful, establishment rag under David Remnick.”  Etc.
I couldn’t agree more, yet I’m stuck with a subscription…
David G’s comment is also useful to reflect upon. 
Thanks to you both.

That’s worth an 'Ignore the Elephant!’ article…
Or - 'It’s all in Your Mind!'
We’d do better with 'The Sociological Research That Helps Explain the Election.'
I must say, the New Yorker has become an awful, establishment rag under David Remnick. 
Was he this bad when he wrote "Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire” (1994)? 
Which I haven’t read & would do so now only if paid. (Where’s my Putin subvention?)
And my price would be much higher to read his "The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama” (2010).
Which was described at the time as “mythmaking [with] all the tell-tale signs of an authorised biography” (John R. MacArthur, The Spectator).
The interesting cultural histories of the New Yorker ("Here at The New Yorker" [1975], by Brendan Gill; "Gone: The Last Days of The New Yorker" [2000], by Renata Adler) need to be supplemented by an account of its neolib/neocon degeneration in the 21st century.

Alternatively, maybe people just know when they're being screwed.
The field of cognitive psychology has for some time seemed to me to be infested by Israelis/Zionists who land at prestigious American universities. Perhaps not by accident. You need a lot of smart Jewish people to find complicated ways to explain the world in ways that are free from political and economic analysis. I think you could generate a whole psychological "theory" about how liberal Israelis, in denial of what is going on around them, develop elaborate approaches to the human mind, many of which seem to me to be trivial or bogus.
