I’ll try to paraphrase: No one is totally neutral. It’s good to critique others’ biases. And bad to pretend you’re neutral.
Apropos of nothing, let me say this: Questioning the normative assumptions that motivate a focus on something like polarization IS NOT an anti-intellectual project. Pretending that one’s arguments or perspectives are free of normative commitments is the unserious, anti-intellectual make-believe.
