You make clear that the border is secure, that you're going to get deported and that if you get deported by ICE, it won't be fun.

My understanding is that they've created a fictional series where it's a young white boy who at age 13 has somehow fallen into, in Seldom, a bizarre theory given that I don't think we'd ever call a 13-year-old involuntarily celibate. That's a bizarre claim to make about him. But also that he's responsible for killing a young black boy and that somehow this is now a model for what

british teach school should be teaching their children that they should be making uh young white males in particular feel guilt implicitly on you know the end that they you know are secretly monsters that could pinch to go out and murder uh their classmates of a different race or something uh it's a bizarre show um

And honestly, there's evidence that this is just a straight up inversion of some of the very serious crimes that have been committed in Britain. Notably, there's this kid, Axel Rudakubana, who murdered a slew of people in Southport. And there's other instances like this where you actually do have a serious spree of knife crime committed by sometimes young black males.

So the idea that you would suddenly turn this around And make it about white males is just it's I mean, I don't have a better phrase for it than blood libel.

Yeah, they've turned a fantasy into something they believe their young white males need to be lectured about. It's offensive, and I think it'll ultimately be counterproductive because I think that it will breed a lot of resentment towards the establishment from young white males and turn them to the right.

There were two conceits that our leadership class had when it came to globalization. The first is assuming that we can separate the making of things from the design of things. The idea of globalization was that rich countries would move further up the value chain, while the poor countries made the simpler things. You would open an iPhone box, and it would say, designed in Cupertino, California.

Now, the implication, of course, is that it would be manufactured in Shenzhen or somewhere else. And yeah, some people might lose their jobs in manufacturing, but they could learn to design, or to use a very popular phrase, learn to code. But I think we got it wrong. It turns out that the geographies that do the manufacturing get awfully good at the designing of things.

Now, we assume that other nations would always trail us in the value chain. But it turns out that as they got better at the low end of the value chain, they also started catching up on the higher end. We were squeezed from both ends.

The second is that cheap labor is fundamentally a crutch, and it's a crutch that inhibits innovation. I might even say that it's a drug that too many American firms got addicted to. And so I'd ask my friends, both on the tech optimist side and on the populist side, not to see the failure of the logic of globalization as a failure of innovation.
