Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I’ve thought about the points you raise and I think they are all good challenges. I agree that Cummings raises interesting and relevant points in a range of areas.
I think you and I have different views on several points. The most important one seems to be that I think the piece at times aspires to represent the whole, even as a sketch (‘An Odyssean education’). And my view is that two of the most important areas (if I were writing such an essay) would be voting and political systems, and climate change, neither of which I feel get sufficient attention in the piece. It seems that on each of these topics you take a different viewpoint, which I respect. Again, thanks for your feedback. Unless there’s much else you think we can do to resolve this difference, I’d probably leave it there.
