But I think going to that rally really changed my mind about a lot of this.

Well, what his quote about that, Thomas Sowell's quote about that is that's the history of the modern West over the last 30 or 40 years. And I think it's universally true. I mean, we're sitting here in London, for example, where the mantra is diversity is our strength. And the more it's evident that that has flaws in it, the more we double down on the statement, right? So a lot of this is...

They're tested only by whether they get likes or they don't get likes. And you see this on the left and the right. There are things both the far left and the far right will say that are absolutely not in any way related to the truth. But they are very appealing to people's feelings. And so they'll do that. Look, the reality is the truth is very unpopular.

And always has been because the truth is messy, unpleasant, complicated. The truth probably doesn't agree with you on a lot of things just necessarily because it's not going to fit exactly to the worldview that you have. So it's very unpleasant and it's much easier to engage in sloganeering for yourself as well as for society.

Yeah, and I think usually the easiest telltale sign of working out that someone's full of shit is if they have a single explanation for all the problems that they identify and they're not willing to recognize the trade-offs in these situations.

I just think we live in a world where we're much more governed by emotion and feeling than we are by the heart. You know, I'm reading Churchill's diaries of World War II right now. And it's funny to the extent to which the stuff that he clearly takes for granted in describing things is now... would now be completely abhorrent to our sensibilities.
