This is a fascinating piece that picks up on a verbal tic in liberal professional circles — the use of “right?” as a kind of punctuation in sentences. It’s a sign, this magazine writer posits, of epistemological insecurity in an age of institutional delegitimization.

Interesting. I'd put my money more on the false confidence and self-assuredness that comes from deep insularity and lack of social exposure to opposing worldviews. So kind of the opposite of what the author says in the piece, but stemming from the professional class liberal experience nonetheless.

That's an intriguing perspective. It's fascinating how different experiences can shape our confidence and worldview in diverse ways.
