But I would also say, and perhaps this is why some people like this, is that there's been such an attack on our culture for so long that even being in a place where it's okay to feel like it's... Even being in a place where culture isn't negative, like one's... Right, just outright, just its utility outright denied.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

But that, by the way, I think is really crucial, because I think that there has been a concerted effort since the end of the Second World War to crush our culture. And I think this ties in with the populist thing, which I was keen to talk to you about.

And a lot of populists will think, or a lot of people who frame the populist age, it's sort of over the last 30 years, you look at failed Iraq wars, trillion dollars spent there, the Wall Street bailout 2008, turbocharged by Covid and the failure of elites there.

But I think you can actually go back to the post, all the way to the end of the war, and this attack on the culture, which has inspired what I think is the worldwide populist movement, is been deliberately because we learned the wrong lessons at the end of the Second World War. So this is what the writer N.S. Lyons has called the long 20th century, which we're now coming out of.

And so at the end of the Second World War, you have writers like Karl Popper writing about the open society, and they create this dichotomy between the open society and the closed society. And the motivation is never again, of course, like after the Holocaust. The lesson seems to have been in Europe that these national cultures are wrong. Nationalism is evil.

And the dichotomy that's created was that those were the closed societies, negative, and we need to aim for an open society. And so that sort of, to me, explains everything that's going on. It explains everything from mass migration, explains everything from the clampdown on free speech. It explains even the failure to address the British Pakistani rape gang scandal. It all comes from that.
