#886 - Konstantin Kisin - A Plan To Save The Western World

If you had a thing on an app on your phone that went, well, here's the newspaper article you really want to read, the sub stack from whoever, the video from whoever, et cetera. A couple of tweets that are, yeah. Exactly. Um, so the, the economics of the whole thing are changing, uh, and, uh, there's just a lot more competition now. So people have way more choice.

And so you can, you can go to wherever your particular preferences are being pandered to in the best possible way. And you can get exactly the thing or outrage or outrage or whatever. Um, and, uh, you know, as I say, for better or worse, you're going to get exactly what you want.

Yeah, I don't think that's really happened in the sense that people think it's happened. I think what's happened is a lot of people have made loud exits. I don't think that the vast majority of those left-wing people have left to X. Some have, some have, they post more on Instagram now or whatever. But broadly speaking, nobody wants to be on the third best social media platform.

The network effect is very real. And so I don't think, We're actually going to split off into our own political commentary websites because the interaction is quite valuable with different sides. But we will see how that evolves. I mean, one of the things I am hopeful with X is that I was incredibly grateful to Elon for buying it and for the changes that he's made.

Yeah. Do you think Trump would have got in if Elon hadn't bought X? Nobody knows. I suspect not, but maybe he would have done. I don't think anybody really knows. I think Elon's support and X was a big factor. Cool thought experiment. But I really hope that over time what happens is Elon continues to improve X and there are improvements that could be made.

And I'm sure there's ways of dealing with that. You know, Eric Weinstein, when we had him on, we had a kind of back and forth and I sort of accused him of not having solutions and I don't have solutions exactly, but I think.
