“Anyone with a mortgage and children will ignore both Michel Foucault and anyone who thinks that Foucault has anything useful to say.”

Unfortunately, these same people don’t take the effort to eliminate the admirers of Michael Foucault from our cultural and intellectual institutions. They consider it to be something abstract and not particularly relevant to their own lives. This indifference has cost us dearly. So much so, we may not be able to save Western Civilization.
