“While it is tempting to try to save the world by shouting into the void of the ‘masses,’ Albert Jay Nock offered a different, harder piece of advice. He suggests that our actual task is not to convert the ‘masses’ but to ‘brace and reassure the Remnant.’ … Nock argued that the masses are beyond the reach of reason, and it is not our job to convert them. Nock is not saying don’t talk to or write for them, but drop the evangelical attitude that somehow you will get the ‘ear of the people’ and lead them out of the wilderness.” (02/25/26)
