This is Seth Leibson for townhall.com. Talking politics with your average young male these

days, chances are you will hear all kinds of odd theories coming from the Pied Pipers of podcastistan. You will hear them mentioning experts nobody heard of until about 10 minutes ago or until they were discovered by these podcasters because of their contrary and often conspiratorial thinking. Young men especially are attracted to this novel wisdom, and they are so

prone because, as they will tell you, mainstream institutions have been untruthful over the years.

But because some institutions that we used to rely on and respect have been taken over by partisanship

and been wrong doesn't mean that all normative thinking and scholarship is a lie or cannot

be trusted, or that

people nobody have ever heard of are the replacement for true wisdom. We dismiss and ignore this

fallacious thinking at our collective peril. The task of the serious is to be able to discern

truth from fiction and greatness from mediocrity. In these critical times, that task has never

been more important than now.

I'm Seth Leaves.
