What a fantastic interview. I’m part way into the book already, and with this interview combined, I’m deeply appreciating what feels like an important, fresh, new way of tackling some of our biggest cultural challenges. Lots of gems, and in particular, I was cheering during the last ~4 minutes of the interview, which articulated a great note to end on. Thanks!
Many thanks to both Musa Al-Gharbi and Yascha Mounk for sharing a generative philosophical exploration of this phenomenon in your discussion. I look forward to reading your books! 📖
"Benefits from" does not necessarily imply "perpetuates" or "is somehow morally responsible for", as Al-Gharbi seems to suggest. He also seems quite comfortable invoking arguments based on supposed oppressed/oppressor group status. To my ears, his critiques of woke elites to fall flat because they are based on the same identitarian ideological framework that he in other contexts I believe disavows?
I can't follow a word of what you just said, other than you don't appreciate this guy's tone none too much. For my part, I don't think he goes near far enough, when it comes to this rather timely critique of a failing America oollpasing under the weight of our ruthless, self-perpetuating liberal meritocracy, and the university caste system that is the engine of it.
