All I need to know is which side does a better job of suppressing and attacking and threatening its dissidents. If you tell me which side does not allow anyone to question, I can say that side is wrong about most things.

What I talked to you about last time, the coddling the American mind, was about this weird thing that happened on college campuses beginning 2015, but it actually goes back more to 2012, 2013. It's now called the Great Awokenings. And so there was this period, I think it really runs from say 2015 when things got crazy on campus through 2020, that whole crazy year.

And it's kind of ending now, but there was a period when the left was extraordinarily good at destroying socially anyone who questioned. And that led to terrible policies like the ones you just mentioned. When you're not open to any criticism... You become structurally stupid.

You have a group of people, they can be brilliant as individuals, but they don't have the normal process of someone saying, hey, let's decriminalize marijuana. Someone says, well, wait, what would happen? If you lose that process, then you become structurally stupid. Obviously, the right is insane as well. I'm not saying that they're smarter.

But there was a period where the left-dominated cultural institutions put in policies that really backfired. And I believe that's why so many groups moved to the right, moved towards Trump.

Well, what matters is what people see. And so since on both sides, the fringe control, this is what's so upsetting about our politics. The right is not conservative. The left is not liberal. At the center of our discussion here, and especially as we move to the anxious generation, when you get a change in technology, you get a change in so many aspects of life.

When you get television and automobiles, great inventions, but it ends up changing the way we live together because now you're just in your home watching your entertainment center and you get in your car and you go somewhere else. And so it decimated human interaction and neighborhoods. But that was over many, many decades. The move onto smartphones and social media

what I call in the book, the great rewiring of childhood. 2010, teens have flip phones. They might have Facebook, but they don't use it very often because they have to use their parents' computer to get on it. There's no privacy, that's right. Whereas by 2015, everyone has a smartphone, social media, Instagram, high-speed internet, limitless texting.
