Looking for intellectual conservative sources

Can anyone recommend a smart conservative for me to challenge my views with and learn?

Requirements:

1) Must be alive (I'm already familiar with Friedman, Hayek, Von Mises, etc)

2) Must have a PhD in a technical discipline. I don't respect the opinion of lay people.

Any sources?

Also looking for cool conservatives to follow. Can anyone list a particularly talented artist who is conservative?

Here's what you posted in another thread:

So let me ask again, why do you have that PhD requirement if you want your views challenged?

Or why is it that you think that someone would need to be from the other side of a binary political affiliation to challenge your views?

Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."

z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?

Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."

OP, you could try Patrick Deneen.

He wrote an interesting book called Why Liberalism Failed which argues liberalism is not a neutral ideology, because when you erode religion and tradition etc. you must be coercive which is pretty un-liberal of itself.

Hence, you get despair and this fuels anti-liberalism movements.

He is a thinker who seems to be spearheading an anti-capitalist conservative movement.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

FML delusions of grandeur much wincel?

You're a homebound drain on society that isn't even capable of functioning in life.

You've made 465 posts in just a couple of days. Maybe... just maybe now, that time would be better spent researching yourself instead of playing your worn out wannabe intellectual shtick here on this small subsection of a bodybuilding forum.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

I recommend "Tucker Gribble" if you haven't heard of him before.
