The “intelligent” writer is no longer a writer at all, but a calibrator,
perpetually adjusting and keeping abreast of the correct ideologies of
the day. To calibrate is to search for the correct idea or phrase or
message in hopes of achieving congruence with the tastemakers and
gatekeeper activists of the day. In short, to be a calibrator is to be
that most cretinous of creatures: a politician. https://bombmagazine.org/articles/scott-mcclanahan/
