So that's a long-term trend that we see, I think, in Europe.

in diet and nutrition, in food, across the 20th century is the consolidation of control of the food supply in the hands of a smaller and smaller number of larger and larger players.

And it's been a disaster for our health.

I mean, this whole Make America Healthier Again movement that's being spearheaded by RFK Jr., I mean, it is fundamentally a revolt against corporate control of the food supply and the terrible, terrible effects it's had on our health.

So I think that that really scared them.

I think that that was something that really made them sit up and take notice.

Because it's quite a novel interpretation.

And it's not the interpretation that we're told when we are told that we need to stop eating animal products.

We're told we need to save the planet.

We need to stop.

You know, we need to stop livestock burping and breaking wind to, you know, to stop the planet overheating.

And we also need to feed 10 billion people and especially five, you know, five billion people in Africa by the middle of the century.

So we need to abandon this wasteful animal agriculture.

But actually, really, I think that that is just an ideological excuse for consolidation of control of the food supply and of the population.

yeah so it's a it's a direct uh reference to fukuyama and in fact fukuyama is the main kind of he provides the main framing of the of the argument of the book about what's been happening in terms of the development of democracy and uh what that does to men so fukuyama talks about thymos about the

about what happens to Thymos, which is basically the way that the ancient Greeks used to refer to spiritedness, to the kind of things that drive men to achieve, to compete with one another.

Fukuyama's argument is basically that the triumph of liberal democracy is the triumph

of a particular kind of thymos at the expense of another.

So in liberal democracy, we can be recognized as equal, but we can't be recognized as better.

And so that has very, very distinct effects, I think, on male behavior, because testosterone drives men to compete with one another.
