The book is just excellent on all levels. Every sentence is telling, not a word wasted. Murray is smart without being elitist, clever without being arrogant. He is quick, sharp and not afraid, so the left see him as dangerous, and will take him down if they can. This book deserves to be a best seller.

I like Murray he talk simple straight up sense , and I'm left wing !

I heard he went across to the other side.

In another interview, Douglas said that his books are not tied together in any manner. He might not think so but I see the connection. It is about the concept of reality and what is true. Mass immigration was allowed to happen with no democratic decisions. Public discussion was stifled by name-calling and the real risk of getting jail terms for speaking your mind in some countries. The same strategy is used in forcing the new religion down the throats of people. It does not matter if your argument is valid, if it differs from ours, you are a criminal. In both cases, the stuff that actually is happening loses its meaning while how you think/talk about it and who you identify it is all that matters. Good people like this and this and this. You do not like? You are bad! My feeling is that the Internet has brought in 'enforcers' or 'influencers' who have gained power far beyond their mental/moral capabilities.

His motivation is profit from dumb cunts. In an era of climate catastrophe brought on by blind capitalism, he's worried about trans and powerless minorities? Dumb cunts believe anything that'll help them justify their failure. And that's where an opportunist with a post accent steps in to line his pockets and boost his profile

EVery time i watch a Brit interview Douglas Murray I hear them wrap it up with 'Dr. Smurry, Thank you' when I replay it it sounds completely different

From whence a person's sexuality derives should not be stated in binary terms. It is best described by coordinates on a plane of quadrants where the _x_ axis runs along a line of nurture/nature and the _y_ axis along a heterosexual/homosexual line. Somewhere within those quadrants will lay most people's sexual orientation.

And no personal space was respected that day.

What!? That can't be it!

The field of Quantitative Genetics recognizes that phenotype is the (sum of) the result of genetic and environmental factors at play during development. Genetic factors don't often account for more than 30% of the variation in phenotype for any trait. Animal and plant breeders are very familiar with this phenomenon! Read "Quantitative Genetics" by Falconer and McKay for the basic ideas. It is difficult for a geneticist to observe the politicizing and distortion of objective scientific facts! This will back up some of Douglas' points.

At first i failed to understand how fringe activism, trans, gender and other such " niche" debates , where and are given such high profile news worthiness, then i realised that it is driven from universities and thus t.v. media via appointments to those university graduates in media, arts, politics. These people are a minute number with extreme views compared to the vast majority of people. Most people couldn't care less if people are trans. In fact most people go by the premise " do what you want unless it harms others". The mistake these activists make is moving to ridiculous stances of " more than two genders" or saying trans men should be able to compete in sports with women. These stupid ideas hold back acceptance of trans people and stoke a backlash in many cases

They're talking about the BBC again.

This is the emperors new clothes.

Murray is one of the few contemporary writers who is willing to lift the veil on sexual politics and the PC nonsense and expose its neo-Marxist underpinnings. Most writers lack the forum for doing so, because the media is unthinkingly liberal, and they would be fired for daring to depart from the party line. Murray is wonderfully articulate here, speaking in sound bites, but he is far more nuanced and persuasive in his book. Read the book. My only reservation with Murray is that he is so apologetic about denouncing the inanity of the PC movement. The ultra-left has as its object the undermining of traditional Western values and the destruction of capitalism. That is the agenda to which Murray alludes here. The PC arguments need to be reduced to their core premises and cultural Marxism exposed for what it is. Murray devotes too much time and gives too much deference to the manifestations of the movement and spends too little time exposing its intellectual flaws and pretensions.

The lamp in the background is horribly tacky

But ima ask open here and maby some one in here, I would like to ask Murray him self and have hin explain but his probably a realy bussy man. But Hardwere/softare, he say its all about hardwere and its not like alkholism or a gen, he then say its probably a mix of genes and uppringning or suronding influencis, we dont know so mutch yet, coz not aloud to talk about, I am a sober alcoholic sins years back and I have gayness in the family and whit one in the family here friend comes men and women, and they all agree on on thing they didnt deside to be gay or bi not all was all in total gay mixter of thing, I never giv it so mutch toghut, Im self straight but I never eaven think about there sexual orientation, the dident make out open at the table, straight people dont do that so why should gay 🤷‍♂️ So the where born whit it, uppringning mother father as in most of the cases, so I dont say its a geen or a mixt of geens (but it probably is. And how can it then be hardwere? Hardwere is the outer layer of computor, its the pushpottons that is hardwere, the plastik and small metallic inside comutor. And software are the inside Windows 7, if u have a game and Facebook on ur computor thats Softwere. Is he switching part, like does he mean softare but hardwere comes out? Or have i not fully understand. Im sorry for my english spelling, im a sweden.
