These are people who have lost faith in the political process entirely, and they're disconnected from the knotty and complex politics politics and processes of the world around them.

And so they tend to be much more likely to agree with pronouncements like, I need chaos all around me. When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking, just let them all burn. They tend to see politics as as a kind of at an arm's length, distant show, a kind of post-manesque reality show that affects their lives, but is also in some way bigger than their lives.

It's a story for them to participate in more than a set of policies that can affect their day-to-day experience. And as a result, what they demand is entertainment. What they demand is chaos. And that to me is absolutely scary.

Let me challenge myself to be relatively brisk for these, which is rather than write small essays over audio. The most important breakthrough is a kind of half vaccine that's been developed for HIV. HIV kills hundreds of thousands of people a year, tens of millions of people around the world. suffer from HIV.

We haven't developed a vaccine for HIV, but we've developed a shot that people can take twice a year that seems to protect them 98 to 100% from HIV. I mean, that's very close to what we have with the COVID shots. We call those vaccines, which I, of course, think we should. It's extraordinary that we've developed this drug.

And if we can scale it like we scaled the COVID vaccines, it's possible that we really could take a dent out of this disease that's killed millions and millions of people. So, you know, I think the news is biased toward negativity. And I like writing this article because it forced us to see the positive. And this is an amazing, amazing therapeutic.

Well, yeah, first on whether it was people pulling out of voting entirely versus being persuaded, the numbers are still coming in. But just looking at Wikipedia right now, Trump received 74 million votes in 2020. He received 77 million votes in 2024. Harris received 75 million votes in 2024 versus Biden's 81 million.
