In South Africa where the majority were subjected to legal apartheid for twenty seven years, Indian people were subjected to the same systemic and legal discrimination. They arrived here as indentured servants to work in the sugar plantations and lived in the most excruciating poverty. In less than two generations and even during apartheid, they became for the most part well educated, economically secure and in some cases exceptionally wealthy and very well educated. I think strong family structures, religion, sexual taboos and a culture of education has contributed to the marked economic and intellectual emancipation of that group.

Advice for the low life stuck on the bottom: Learn to read. Get good at it. It can change your life. Books, and what's in them, can be had for free. The younger you start, the better the results. Big Dalrymple fan. His books are fabulous. To be savored, slowly.

You need working on boy.

Your show is an extraordinary find! Dalrymple is a living legend.

"Our Culture. Whats left of it" Absolutely Brilliant

I had not watched your show before, but I have to say that I found this to be a very pleasant interview. You didn't talk all over your guest - quite the opposite, you often gave way to let him speak - and didn't constantly try to make cheap jokes or gags, unlike other talk show hosts on KZread. I felt your questions were insightful and helped to move the conversation towards some interesting topics, drawing the best out of an articulated and opinionated man like Theodore Dalrymple. Great to listen to, thank you!

I note the book is recommended by Thomas Sowell. His books are also a must. A black guy who grew up in Harlem and rose to be a terrific authority, particularly on the subject of eonomics. Plenty on KZread too.

Hey, love the show! Love the ads for the totally real and not fake products and services that are 100% legit and effective. Keep up the good work. I hope the show goes far!

I'm a big fan of Dalrymple. Thanks for this fascinating interview.

There's a movie called "Nil By Mouth" that's about the exact kind of people Dalrymple talks about.

Haha. What the hell? Now I’m trying to spot any Vincent Price stuff in the background.

One of the biggest problems in the educational system is the lack of good teachers, with the qualities and attributes, needed to make a difference. Good teachers are few and far between. Many of them are indifferent and mediocre, with no real interest in whether a child learns and flourishes or not. That's how it has always been and will continue to be.

Great podcast thanks

Outstanding intro

@8:50 - although they may lack the eloquence to state matters so well as the good doctor does, many of the People we're talking about have no doubt suspected as much themselves.

What on earth are we going to do when the likes of Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels), Roger Scruton and even Peter Hitchens are gone? Those men, and it is nearly always men, who see the obvious and are able to communicate it clearly. I guess we have Douglas Murray, perhaps Brendan O'Neill? But these are increasingly lone voices against a tide of so called "progressivism" and post-modern toxicity. I fear for all our futures.

Brendan O'Neill? Not an interesting writer in my opinion. Little more than a contrarian, no substance at all

I think the violent men had more partners and were therefore more attractive (or vice versa). Had they had more partners without the violence- just all sorts of other sorts of "bad boy" drama- they would still have been chosen.

Does anyone how Dalrymple’s view on heroin addiction has changed?

Yeah but one thing you don't account for is behind closed doors because especially with the rich people they can pretend to be these wonderful great people and behind closed doors they treat emotionally abuse their own family and their own wives even their own mothers

If parents don't take their kids it's their education seriously kids won't either and a lot of parents are just waiting for their kids to be 18 so they can get rid of them in life's person a lot of casualties waiting for that 1 moment to get away from their crappy parents and it don't matter how much money they make there's plenty of crappy parents who are rich compared to once in a poor

Every Jew was born into poverty, then within one generation were somehow rich. A remarkable religion.

I mean Ben Carson's a good example his mom couldn't even read they were poor he didn't mean to brawe're hitting up being a brain surgeon

Yea cause the violent ones are in solitaire lol
