In re Claremont, Paul Fussell rightly pointed out back in the 80s that think tanks and institutes with all their talk of “scholars” and “fellows” was just people playing at university without having actually to put in the work—or, I’d add, having to face oppositional views from colleagues.

Whatever doxing is, it isn’t the people knowing the name, agency, and authority of those exercising state power—violence—against them. We used to think of the Star Chamber as an affront to dignity of a free people.
