Are traditionalists really the best critiques of conservatism?
Mckenna was an apolitical nut job who believed we were all on some chatic ride controlled by machine elves hurdling towards the transcendental object at the end of time
No, the radicals were. See

Doesn't seem very conservative to me senpai
Rousseau did seem like the most reasonable answer itt
Its not liberal either. It doesnt have anything to do with politics at all, his ideas are simply the end product of eating mushrooms like candy and chain smoking DMT while being a naturally gifted speaker with a talent for abstract thinking.

But all jokes aside, I've often wondered if his brain cancer resulted from the absolute whirlwind of psycotropics he exposed himself to.
>>fitting into left or right politics
What? I said he DOESNT fit into left or right politics
>I've often wondered if his brain cancer resulted from the absolute whirlwind of psycotropics he exposed himself to.
Im inclined to say no, simply because theres pleanty of other well known people from that time that did similar amounts of psychedelics who didn't develop brain cancer. Of course he did admit to experimenting with more obscure/ unheard of hallucinogens, and perhaps some of those were carcinogenic? All I know is that Im happy sticking to my 4-aco-dmt and my lsd

It is worth noting that both conservative (Bloom) and liberal (Rawls) thinkers draw from Rousseau. Though it is worth mentioning that the lefty reading, for instance, by Rawls, which is a contractualist reading, only makes sense if you only read Du Contrat Social, and ignore his other works, such as Julie (explicitly justifies that patriarchy, lol) or Considérations sur le gouvernement de Pologne (explicitly supports ethnic nationalism).
PS I'm sorry that your 'social sciences' professors only read Rawls and Marx and Foucault.
Bloom might draw from Rousseau, but there are many on the right who not only hold Rousseau in contempt - they believe that enlightenment thought is a destructive aberration (I count myself among this camp)
