J.B. Bingo was a great man.

You can’t trust the self until you have defined the self. You can’t know the self without otherness, encountering other selves.

Shut up Frank, what do you know?

“Welcome, I’m Jeff Sh--inaudible”. Don’t swallow those last syllables.

Dear host, your name at the opening of this video is inaudible. You should state your name clearly. We wanna know who you are. Thanks.

Texts of creativity like Freud, Shakespeare, Ralph Ellison and Jane Austen are part of the inwardness of God.

I flat out do not believe in the interviewer's fantasy past where people went to college for the joy of learning and not primarily in order to make more money.

it was when they only let already rich people attain any kind of higher education.

Multiculturalism, inter-racialism, desegregation must end! Get real!

[@F_ckAllTrumpVoters]

Favorite Bloom discussion from the early 2000's is him shitting all over the Bush administration and right wing evangelical politics in general. Good stuff.

[@kreek22]

He spent much more energy shitting all over the Leftists trying to destroy his beloved canon--you know, left wing evangelical politics (ie, cultural marxism), which is and long has been far more powerful and destructive than the right wing version.

[@allen5455]

Bloom is considered a conservative and traditionalist.

Mistakenly

[@allen5455]

Yeah, two faced. Conservatism, traditionalism...quietly forever. Marxism, socialism, communism...these are anti-human. Consider the historic solution to the God problem.

[@timholbrook7671]

Harold was an FDR Liberal. Even looked for creative and caring Socialists. He would recoil at being thought of as a Conservative.
