Burke also came across as a pretty major dick in Aliens tbh.

Can't really blame him - Hudson brought out the worst in everyone.

An historian of that time might defend Hudson by noting that, while abrasive, he never once demanded that anyone cover him, nor did he declare that he was "getting too old for this shit."

Well, they're gonna make sure they nail Burke right to the wall for that! He's not gonna sleaze his way out of that one! Right to the wall!
Grand poofery at its finest.
Burke was no doubt clever, but I wouldn't deem him extraordinary. His ideas on the sublime got me in a row with a Romantic Literature professors at the University of Texas who told me I should "have more respect". I simply pointed out that Burke's thoughts on the sublime were simple, apparently limited in their understanding.
Today I would anticipate extending such judgement to all of his work (and by extension his followers), but must stop short of such damnation as I haven't given it proper treatment.
