Forget good ol’ liberal humanism. The good ol’ liberal consensus.
Forget the good ol’ British virtues. Forget straightforwardness! Directness! Simplicity! Moderation! Freedom from regrettable excitability. From continental passion! From European fanaticism!
Mental hygiene!: forget that. Mental clarity! Forget a low temperature of argument. Forget deflation, rather than inflation. Forget scepticism, rather than enthusiasm. Forget small scale exploration rather than metaphysical speculation.
Forget the old conservatism! Slow wisdom! Deep peace!
And forget the grey scientism! The lab-coatery! Forget the test-tubery! The imitation rigour!
