George Will: A no baselines commentator

To become an out-of-the-box thinker, it is essential to seek out diverse perspectives from all sides of the intellectual spectrum. A good resource is George Will who is a no baselines political commentator featured as The Iron Man of America’s op-ed pages in this recent WashPost feature. While many know him for his conservative views and erudite writing style, there's an unexpected side to Will that deserves exploration. His journey from a young intellectual on Senator Gordon Allott's staff to a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist is a testament to the power of intellectual curiosity and adaptability. A total no-baseliner.


What's truly remarkable about Will is not just his longevity, but his ability to remain relevant and thought-provoking in an ever-changing political landscape. His out-of-the-box approach is evident in how he starts with ideas rather than news, finding in current events opportunities to illustrate his carefully thought-out view of life and politics. This unique perspective allows Will to offer fresh insights on recurring themes, demonstrating an imperviousness to boredom and an inexhaustible curiosity. His intellectual agility, combined with his vast knowledge spanning from baseball to Bruce Springsteen, from the Federalist Papers to Joan of Arc, makes Will a unique voice in American journalism, offering readers a consistently engaging and thought-provoking perspective on the world.
