There are two rants, schizophrenically in opposition to each other. The first, here is that tech skeptics are directionally correct that modern tech and modernity at large have atomizing effects on people, but with AI, the only way out is through (optimistically, maybe)

"Empathy" is often used to explain bleeding-heart liberalism, but this is exactly backwards. It is precisely the liberal's lack of empathy, his failure to imagine the mindset of the malicious anti-social criminal, that drives his misguided politics. Important to realize this.

George Floyd's death was the pretext for a political revolution––supported up and down the left, from their radical fringes to the "respectable" centrists of the Democrat Party–– and whose BLM-inspired ideology of racial tyranny still dominates mainstream institutions to this day. That pretext was lie. Their revolution is a blight on all of American Life. It must be extracted from its roots and its idols burned to the ground. It starts by telling the truth about what happened to George Floyd and exonerating Derek Chauvin.

Really great conversation with Benjamin Teitelbaum, professor at CU Boulder, on Bannon, Dugin, Evola and the philosophical roots of MAGA, whether there is a there there, Nick Land, AI, and also the ideology behind the emerging anti-tech wing of the populist right. Much to ponder.

Not even 2 minutes into the Rogan/Murray/Smith video and it's no wonder Murray is not being received well. In the first 30 seconds he immediately cuts off the friendly banter and starts interrogating Rogan about the anti-Israel slant in his content. He takes on a really grating, officious ,"just asking questions" tone, when, just like he accuses others of doing, he already knows the answer he wants to hear and is only using the faux-curious approach to smuggle in his criticism. This brief clip then ends with Murray saying: "I'm interested in your selection of guests because you're the world's number one podcast." Not only is this a kind of passive-aggressive concern-trolling, and a subtle implication that Rogan has neglected his moral obligation to act "responsibly" as an influential public figure, it also gets the causation EXACTLY backward. Rogan has the world's number one podcast precisely because of his guest selection, and precisely because the views he platforms are effectively embargoed from mainstream media and Rogan is willing to hear them out. The rest of the media is trying to "teach" it's audience something. People are sick of that kind of didacticism. Rogan is just letting you "listen." Most of Rogan's listeners won't even get to the substance of the arguments before (rightly) determining this guy fundamentally misunderstands the audience he's speaking to and misunderstands the context he's speaking to them in.

Perhaps the most significant political asymmetry is that the left has the unilateral power to exact social punishment on its enemies. This is why establishment cons still defer moral authority to the NYT. Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ discuss this in the context of the SPLC indictment.

An underdiscussed part of Massie’s loss is the traveling circus of online influencers supporting him in KY last week, and how utterly insane their Weekly World News style of politics is to normal voters. Charlie Kirk assassination conspiracies do not, in fact, play in Peoria.

One of my grand theories of Trump is that he is a living rearticulation of the End of History, that his presidency opens an alternative path from the one we took after the Cold War, reversing its mistakes and cutting the loose ends it left dangling. I remain a Plan Truster.

This week Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and I discuss Cole Allen and the consequences of conspiratorial hysteria that has become so prevalent online. I test the idea that conspiracy theories are a kind of intellectual vice that should be treated like other behavioral vices.

Are you familiar with the concept of "milling around?" On Rufo and Lopez this week, Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and I discuss California fraud among other things. I share my recent experience with several BART employees serving no purpose whatsoever but to "mill around."

In Part 2 of our series on the Iran War, Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and I talk with Will Chamberlain who makes the pragmatic "Hard Realist" case that Iran has been a thorn in the side of America for nearly 50 years and is finally getting a long-due comeuppance that redounds to the benefit of American interests. Will further makes the case that the military effort is going well for the US, that Iran is gasping for air, and that Israel is not in fact the axis on which this intervention hinges. Well worth your time. Clip below. Full episode in the reply.

On this week’s show, Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and I dig into the Somali fraud rings and what they reveal about our naive, and morally negligent immigration regime. In this clip, I explain Moynihan’s Law of the Canadian Border and discuss Garett Jones’s Culture Transplant.

After Mystery Grove posted about Homestead being another Yellowstone, I looked up what the new based conservative Angel Studios is up to, and their next theatrical release is a Hillary Clinton/Samantha Power State Department wet dream fantasy about a "trailblazing" all-girls science team from Afghanistan This trailer has to be seen to be believed.

Back in 2015 there was a debate between GMU economist and open-borders advocate Bryan Caplan and his colleague Garett Jones who cautioned that immigrants tend to import all the beliefs and pathologies of their home nations, and that if we want to preserve America qua America, and importantly the strength of its institutions, we need take a far more prudent approach to who we let in to the country and at what volume. Caplan, and mass immigration proponents at places like CATO and elsewhere, who think of immigration as an unalloyed economic good (which somehow became conventional wisdom), dismissed these concerns––when not simply waving them away as the bigoted ranting of evil bad racists––by claiming, as Caplan does in the clip below, that 1) first generation immigrants don't really hold any political power (so who really cares?) and 2) second generation immigrants and beyond simply assimilate to the prevailing norms of the country (as they have in the past). Now that a fully westernized Indian by way of Uganda is leading a coalition of non-natives to impose socialism on our country's biggest city and economic power center, do they have any revisions they want to make? Do they think maybe it's time to reconsider the conventional wisdom? Do they think maybe, as Garett Jones warned us, that mass immigration doesn't just spontaneously produce Americans, that there is no magic dirt, and that since a country is its people, when the people change (or *are changed*) the country changes with them?

This week Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and I ask the big questions about the Iran strikes, and whether this signals a crack-up in the coalition. One central question here, and as a skeptic, one that has required some reflection on my own part is, "Who actually is Trump's base?"
