    This man is exceptional in distilling what he has seen around the world and most recently, here in the US. I was struck by his closing statements about our great country and our role (and responsibility) in the world -- If we get this wrong the world will be in trouble, if we get it right the world will be OK....
    In my experience it's been that way since WWII, but perhaps never so critical as right now.
    I am increasingly grateful that we have Douglas Murray in the public discourse at this critical juncture in American and world history.

      I am from Denmark. I know most of America has been told this place is great, that its already "free of restrictions". First of all they are now coming back, secondly the amount of unrestrained POWER that the government now have over us, pending a simple majority vote in parliament, is staggering. Third of all - our government has already broken our Constitutional law (yes, we have one) in several instances and are also regarded as incredibly authoritarian. A whole new subculture of anti-governmental podcasts have sprung up as a result.
      So how? Tyranny of the majority. Here is what I mean: A full third of our entire nation is employed by the state, yes you read that right, secondly there is the very large and growing part of the population that is old, unemployed or disabled or something and therefor dependent on the government in many ways, even to live in many cases. They are incentivized accordingly. The fact that it is also the old and weak, dependent on the government and subsidized by the government are also the people most afraid of the virus is just its own amazing problem - its almost perfect for central power: A population in fear, with such a large voter-base that are that directly dependent on the government to exist ...economically or otherwise - that much fear can suddenly mean: "The ends justify the means" and it has already happened in a few cases...like the mink case (you can google that, so you are free of me giving you a biased article - make your own judgement) - 2 wolves and 1 sheep vote about whats for dinner tonight.
      If America does not work itself out, I have nowhere to run to and they are already having talks in terms of "Oh look how fashionable Austria is being"...I think the adoption-rate is low but the idea was still floated and they already shown they are willing to go very far, they have already shown they will act with force against its own population and take control over peoples lives - they operate increasingly on this idea. This is a hellish place for individual rights. Granted at this point our own society has started questioning things too but...well its all wrong. I have so many things I could tell you about this place. Please wake America up, please. We need you.

    That bit right at the very end, about education. Such a lovely thing to hear that bristle in Douglas Murray's voice.
    Tens, if not dozens of millions of kids in the English speaking world are being ripped off of perhaps the most valuable thing they may ever possess: a good education. The kind that swings open the doors to an open mind, a greater understanding, a love of learning, a boundless curiosity and ability to value what is actually beautiful about the world. And that's hardly even a brief notion skimming the surface, compared to the depth that resides there.
    They're being ripped off.
    Knowing how they're ripped off is important. Knowing why they are ripped off more important still. Knowing the results of this going forward, practically priceless.
    Because that third one there - provides the indictment on the entire profession that considers a thing like pigmentation, or what resides between the legs, or vague notions of navel-gazed identitarianism to be far more important than actually imparting any sort of skills required to bestow upon a scholar some semblance of perspective and actual knowledge.
    This is one hell of a thing to steal from a person. It is one hell of a thing to steal from young people.
    Which is why I spit on the ground before their pathetic efforts to prove to me that they actually care. They don't care. How could they possibly care? They are denying the one greatest thing that could cause the pulling back of the curtain and revealing the Wizard at work spinning out mischief.
    My 'troubled' childhood was eased enormously by one simple thing: my ability to get out of myself, to get over myself, to become amazed and focused on an endless list of things that required full concentration and focus. Which causes one to forget many of the things they are unable to do anything about really, for the moment. So one gets on.
    These dozens of millions are now seen as incapable of such a thing? Hell. I was an average child. A regular boy. Nothing special at all. So I don't buy this argument.
    Illiteracy should have become that ten-foot high banner on every BLM protester poster. The why of it. It should have been front and center. It should have mattered. It should not have been yet again buried beneath and behind another soft parade of lousy reasons to own a "Get Out of School Free" card.
    Because illiteracy is like 50, or 60, or 70 years of slow death by a brain's drowning. Thinking that this is not true, or not the case, is like being wrapped up in fishing lines or kite tails of delusion. There is no flying free, moving to that far horizon. There is just the spinning of a manipulated top. A child's toy. A failure to mature.
    I could go on about this all day, and sometimes feel moved to when inspired by comments such as Mr. Murray's.
    I think the fact that it is not front and center speaks volumes.

    I am writing from France. Murray is one of my favorite Authors these days. But I savor the irony. I am in France because I was was deported from the US, after spending 5 years in prison. I last lived in a Missouri prison. In fact I was arrested in St Charles county, not far from where the Show-Me institute is. I don't know that deportation was strictly necessary (I had lived in the US for 50 years), thinking that 5 years of prison was payment enough for my debt to society. But I am not grousing. I've even subscribed to the Show-Me institute!

      Dont kid yourselves thinking that it's "Morally Ok" to ever take another persons property and "redistribute" it. The only moral starting framework is voluntarism/anarchy.
      This means NO RULERS, NO SLAVES. Otherwise, continue to live out of touch with NATURAL LAW which the Creator put in place here and watch the laws of Karma continually destroy this planet.

      It's better if we talk of right and wrong, "better than" this or that, if something is right or wrong that is a discussion of degrees, not perfection, but improvements on the issues or topics, and it works better if people who take a party poetic line are willing to "improve" their view or how they do things if a new better idea or improvement is presented to them, and NOT consider if the person is of the right or left and automatically dismiss it.

    Well said on John Oliver, a very original and hilarious comedian when he was gigging around the UK and appearing on panel shows, he went to the States and was initially great there too, I'd actively look forward to Last Week Tonight appearing on YT, but bit by bit he traded clever, insightful humour for trotting out the same tired lines about the same predictable targets and his items started being obviously, deliberately biased in one very specific direction by clear omission and in some cases, being deeply disingenuous.
    I'm happy to laugh at jokes that target people I support if it's clever and at least vaguely honest but when it's all one way and lacking in any honour or original wit it's just not entertaining. I guess it's mainly down to the script writers, maybe he has no editorial control at all, but his show sure sucks these days.
    I gave up perhaps a year ago, I can't bear to watch it at all these days.

      But I agree, he used to be alot sharper, and way less partisan.

    I read Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind in the early 1990s. I bought it in a really sumptuous Penguin edition. I felt at that time that I was reading a very powerful and insightful analysis of what was happening then and what would continue to happen. I find it strange that in these times I never hear Bloom's name mentioned or his work cited. I lent my copy of the book to a friend and never got it back and I have never since then found another copy of the book in a bookshop, even though I have spent a lot of time browsing in bookshops between then and now.

    • @bungalowlogic7676

      Thank You! I've thought the same regarding Alan Bloom. Even commentary on Jonathan Haight's book, which almost steals the title (Coddling of the American Mind), never has any mention of it. I stumbled across that book 20 yrs ago and still refer back to it. It was my education into what thinkers I ought to know and has been a traveling companion ever since.
      I hope someday you find a replacement copy, friend.

      Claremont Institute writers such as Michael Anton, and Dave Reaboi refer to this book. It is only ignored in the vast wasteland that is ignorant. It was a seminal work, and as you say, should be dusted off and rediscovered more broadly.
