And they were all so sort of smug and condescending. So I realized, well, I don't like this. And because I have the self-confidence of growing up in a relatively wealthy family, I don't feel intimidated by them. And I challenge them. I have arguments with them. And they lose and they get angry.

And I think that they are just very weak people who don't like arguments and they say things like, well, you can't say that. Or how can you how can you say that you're black? You should know that, you know, all these people are racist and we're just trying to be helpful and so on. And they were so condescending. So I know I don't like that.

I also know that I don't like teachers who just set very low expectations. I'm learning that family has actually been the most important thing in making me who I am. And I didn't realize that long enough. So all of these things are taking me on the journey to conservatism.

Then I do the law degree where I'm reading about John Stuart Mill and Edmund Burke and, you know, how the rule of law is so critical to conservatism. you know, the West, but how this country functions and you learn the power of institutions, you see how you need to preserve institutions from generation to generation.

You then compare with what happened during the colonial era where institutions are brought and, you know, dropped in a place. And so, yes, there's now a common law tradition, but the culture has really changed and eventually the culture erodes it. So a lot of it is personal experience and observation and lots of arguing. So I loved arguing, loved debating.

And I remember when I was in that job working as a systems analysis, there was a lefty French guy who worked with me. And he kept saying, you are so right wing, you are so right wing. And I didn't know enough then. And I said, no, I'm not right wing because right wing, as I had been taught, was a bad thing.

You know, the media and the cultural establishment always used right wing as a pejorative term. So I would say, no, I'm not right-wing, but I was. And I remember when I really sat down and read the canon and the text, and you read Hayek, and of course, Thomas Sowell, who I love very much, I realized, oh my goodness, I'm very right-wing. And I'm proud of that.

This is not something to be embarrassed or ashamed about. And my being very much on the right is that mix of the cultural conservatism, because I want us to preserve the things that are amazing here. And one of the things that is amazing is the classic liberalism, not the postmodern, you know, sort of corruption of that. And a lot of what I see that has gone wrong is the corruption of liberalism.
