What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The New York Times … called him "the cool kid's philosopher" and a "brilliant polemicist," who "does not attack unfairly, stoke anger for the sake of it, or mischaracterize his opponents' positions."" in the context of "Peter Beinart: "Why Doesn't The New York Times Mention Ben Shapiro's Islamophobia?" (November 30, 2017)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
