Stepping out of generational poverty requires shifting mindsets about money and possibility, building assets rather than relying solely on income, and making consistent choices that prioritise growth, savings, and reinvestment, so that progress is sustained and passed on to the next generation. In this episode, Newton Buteraba shares insights...

.Logan on our latest piece in Human Progress about what unifies the enemies of civilization: What unifies all of the enemies of civilization is that they all slow down the growth of knowledge. Now, you ask, how can we take advantage of this fact, namely that all of the enemies of civilization share in common this feature that they curb the growth of knowledge? This fact tells us that we can, if we so choose and if we make the right decisions, outpace them in the growth of knowledge. So, one strategy to defeat the enemies of civilization is basically to outpace them in this great war of memes and growing wealth and knowledge, such that eventually, the memes that comprise the enemies of civilization, as well as the wealth that the enemies of civilization control, is an ever smaller fraction of the total meme pool and wealth that civilization has to offer. So, this is what success would look like if we think about outpacing them. But there's also the strategy of replacing the memes that comprise the enemies of civilization with better ideas. This is just a fancy way of saying we could also persuade people. So that would be a kind of inside-out approach, rather than the out-pacing, which is kind of from the outside in. And of course, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can continue to build and outpace the enemies of civilization while persuading people that the relevant ideas that curb the growth of knowledge are mistaken. And by the way, just to make the conversation a little less abstract, the enemies of civilization that we wrote about in our piece, which is an excerpt of the script we wrote for your upcoming documentary, those enemies are socialism, environmentalism, scientism, relativism, dogmatism, and doomerism. And I don't think I ever told you this, Arjun, but what I like about the list we came up with is that understanding the inner workings of each of these enemies of civilization, that is to say, understanding the how and why of how each enemy of civilization curbs the growth of knowledge, gives unique insights into the nature of progress and epistemology.

Zack Polanski, "It's a tax on assets of 1% on £10m+ or 2% on £1 billion+" "The most obvious win here is to bring Capital Gains Tax in line with Income Tax" "The reason why that's important is right now we tax earned income more than we tax unearned wealth" "If you're a cleaner, you could be paying more tax than the person who owns the building that you're cleaning" "It's completely absurd. It's a political choice. We can make different political choices" "When Ruth said it's difficult to find wealth, that there are practical challenges, so let's spend more money on HMRC" "We keep underspending on the NHS, it shouldn't be a surprise we have a sick population" "So yes, spend money up front on public infrastructure, on our services, but we're getting that money back, in terms of a much better economy and a healthier population" "It's outrageous that we would have any more spending cuts" "People in this country are tired and exhausted" "They see the cost of living raised and they're not seeing their wages go with it" "We have wealth in this country that we can redistribute" "So the idea that people who are already struggling, as a result of political decisions and consequences of the past decade, are going to have to suffer another round of cuts" "It's not a surprise to me when Nigel Farage talks about connecting with people's fear and anger, that's he doing so well" "Of course I say this because Reform UK's solutions will make things even worse" "That's why the Greens are doing so well right now, we're offering hope and some practical solutions" "To say we don't need to cut spending and actually we need to tax the wealthier in our country more and invest in public services"
