  • What You Read Doesn't Matter

    What You Read Doesn't Matter
    Jul 22 2024

    In this episode I look at the online judgement directed at those who post reading lists. I argue that what really matters is not so much what you read, but how you read, since the information you are after can only be gleaned by reading many different books.

  • Diversity Works if You Don't Force It

    Diversity Works if You Don't Force It
    Jul 21 2024

    In this episode, I discuss the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and the ongoing criticism regarding the performance of the Secret Service. I argue that while diversity is critically important, when forced, it ends up creating more problems than solutions. I show how both the Left and the Right are in fact committing the same transgression, assuming they know what diversity is supposed to look like. I argue that diversity must be allowed to emerge naturally, using proper definitions of merit.
