I agree there are blind spots on both sides, and I’ll soon be switching to exposing the downside of liberalism, in a new series. But philosophically and existentially, in terms of the values of humanism and intellectual integrity, conservatism is poison.

The “wisdom of the crowds” aphorism doesn’t seem so conservative to me. It’s not elitist enough. But I talk about a similar aphorism in the article linked below, contrasting “Two heads are better than one” with “Too many cooks spoil the broth.”
