I think he has early onset.
 
This is what passes for intellectualism in America.

Bourgeoise bohemians, fails to capture anything like the kind of cultural fragmentation among better off people here.

(His ideas on intelligence smell of The Bell Curve, which may not be as bad as it was made out to be, but Brooks could not make real use of any of it.)

An anywhere New York fallen away Jew, who spends his holidays on a somewhere dude ranch near Bozeman.

Trust me.

Terms search: Brooks, bonobos, primates, chimps
