Jagan Ganesh: We are at the beginning of the end of one such phenomenon. What “activists” were looking for wasn’t that dogma, but a dogma: a system of thought that clarifies the farrago of real life into categories (“patriarchy”) and rules (“do better”). Exactly which system meets that demand at a given time is a matter of chance and fashion. My three favourite cities in the world — London, Los Angeles, Bangkok — are defined by a lack of definition. There is no master plan, no architectural coherence, no telling from the look and atmosphere of one street what to brace for in the next. But ambiguity is its own kind of radicalism. It goes against the human need for structure. And the inverse is also true. Radicals aren’t all that radical. What I see in the many I have known over the years is fear: of life, of the messiness of their own species. (https://www.ft.com/content/56b5c04c-6e68-448e-ac9d-3eb6e112fc79)
