I think he meant that Kling, being a libertarian, failed the Turing Test when describing the framework behind the progressive and conservative viewpoints.
I get that. But he wasn’t even TAKING the Turing test. He described it fairly accurately, if in terms that people on the inside wouldn’t have used. So?
The problem is that he didn’t describe it accurately. He described it with a very simple bias that is different from the actual view and makes bad predictions oi you try to use it to think instead of using it to caricature political opponents.
I’d suggest that the description was pretty good for being so short. In particular, it was adequate to explain this one feature that someone was not able to anticipate, and a lot of other major features, and it is in fact true of many—not all—components of the left.
