Because it affects them as much as it affects us.

Well, Andrew Wilson, welcome to Trigonometry.

Thanks for having me.

I appreciate it.

Great to have you on.

Tell us about you, your background, how you've come to be where you are, and also some of the things that you've become well-known for talking about and debating.

And why do you enjoy doing this?

Do you mean progressives or do you mean leftists, like the entire left?

What about people who just want like a little bit more wealth redistribution, but generally they love America.

I mean, those people, they are decreasing in percentage on the left, but they do exist, right?

Why do they want it?

Because they think they have a different vision to the right of human nature, and they think that a lot of things that happen to people in life are partly about luck and structures and stuff like that.

So they think the right massively overestimates the consequences of agency.

So the idea that sometimes the caricature of the right would be, well, everyone gets what they deserve because it's a matter of your hard work and talent and application and whatever.

And the left, the sensible left, I think says, well, sure, but luck is a big part of it.

Thereby, the grace of God go we.

Therefore, if someone is struggling, not everyone is struggling because they didn't put in the effort.

Sometimes shit happens, people get sick, accidents happen, whatever.

So we should look after people a little bit more

than the people who want the lowest taxes possible.
