Religions themselves are a great example of a Straussian meme, it’s shocking how close they got to using that example but instead went somewhere else with it that made zero sense.
I suspect that the use of incredibly bad examples is some sort of intentional Straussian joke, and that the entire article itself, and not the examples in it, is supposed to be the real example of a Straussian meme.
Once you assume that any collection of Straussian meme examples is itself a Straussian meme example, you're free to start with the worst examples
And maybe that's the higher reading.
Is this HN or Tyler Cowen’s blog?
