I mean, I've had numerous people, friends in Hollywood who have basically lost their jobs or have left the business altogether because a white man can no longer get hired. It's very hard for white men to start a career publishing novels right now because everybody has to have it not just be black, but has to have a name that sounds black or at least sounds colored in some way.

And and this is deeply offensive because after years of. reading books like To Kill a Mockingbird, where we learned that bigotry was wrong, we're suddenly being told, no, no, that was just the wrong bigotry. Once you get the bigotry right, once you're hating the right people, then the hatred is great. Then the hatred is absolutely terrific. And they've turned the values on their heads.

And I always tell people, the devil doesn't care who gets hated as long as the hating gets done. And so what you have is an art form storytelling that has been completely emptied of any viable content, just in the same way that painting has basically become empty. The only place where you can see visual art that really matters is in video games, and even those are under attack.

Ideology is death to art. You know, the other day, and this is kind of on what's happening now, I watched that film Conclave, which is about getting a new pope. Yeah, you said, absolutely right. But it starts out with the good guy in it, you know, played by Ralph Fiennes, making a speech saying certainty is a danger. I completely agree. I think that certainty is one of the big dangers we have.

We should all be a little humble, a little bit uncertain about we believe, a little willing to listen to other people. The rest of the movie is all filled with religious certainty about everything but religion. It's filled with religious certainty about what the church should do about gays, what it should do about marriage, what it should do about women.

It's filled with absolutely intense religious certainty about everything except religion. That is where I think the left and the arts which the left control in this country and in the West in general That is where they have come a cropper.

They have become so certain they become so religious in the bad sense of that term And they've lost all humility and they don't know how to tell a story anymore And it's like listen, I'm not looking to go backwards. I want to see new stuff.

I want to see 3d stuff I want to see all the new kinds of things but certain things stay the same human nature stays the same human values stay the same beauty stays the same and And I think that those are the things that have been absolutely rejected because they've rejected all the values of the West. And those are some of the central values of the West.
