He so correctly points out that the call for "equality" is often a pretext for an underlying "social justice" agenda.

I'm a US citizen who has spent several months in urban/rural Australia. In the US, political diversity is not our strength. We are so fractionalized that consensus agreement on even minor topics is nigh impossible. Our public education system has trained recent generations that America (and western civilization) is more bad than good, more selfish than giving, more oppressive and error-prone than freedom-loving and corrective. The obsession with racial/ethnic identity with all historical grievances in tow doesn't build a nation, it dismantles it. Don't make the same mistakes.

A brilliant thinker. His The Madness of Crowds is an excellent book and well worth reading.

Good sentiment bad poem

My grandparents and great-grandparents were Highland crofters, born and bred. Generally, my ancestors would have been humble Highland peasants. During the notorious Highland Clearances, many would have been evicted from their homes and left to perish if they couldn't survive the terrifying rigours involved. NONE of my ancestors EVER killed, oppressed or enslaved anyone, except possibly in the course of organised clan violence against other Highlanders or other Brits, if you were to go back many centuries. Some of my ancestors might, however, have lived in terror of themselves being murdered or enslaved by the BARBARY PIRATES from North Africa who kidnapped vast numbers of Europeans, not least from the British Isles. Many societies RIGHT AROUND the world - NOT JUST EUROPEANS - have engaged in the utterly ABOMINABLE PRACTICE of slavery. Some in fact continue to do so to this very day. European societies are not distinguished in having engaged in slavery, but rather in having been the FIRST TO STOP. So why is it Britain that is constantly expected to apologise and re-apologise and keep on re-apologising for a practice we discontinued 200 years ago, with nobody apologising to Britain for all the British people they enslaved, and when other countries are still at it right now? Much as I abhor and detest ALL slavery and much as I sympathise with any actually enslaved person, dead or alive, I in fact have NO personal cause to apologise to any long dead slave. The past is the past. Let bygones be bygones. If, nevertheless, I were to start playing this ridiculous blame game, I could as well DEMAND apologies for my own long dead ancestors who may have lived in terror of being enslaved by the BARBARY PIRATES. In fact, policing British shores to thwart and deter such pirates would have been a serious financial expense to the entire country, and in a sense remains so to this very day. Enslaving pirates would soon return to these shores if Britain's glorious Royal Navy were ever to be scuppered. All this apologising nonsense is basically just a cynical ploy by those who wish Britain ill, to extract ever more money from us, at the expense ultimately of the most vulnerable elements in British society itself. Where's Britain's compensation for those British people kidnapped by the Barbary Pirates? Where's Britain's compensation on account of the Vikings and the Romans?

If you view the concern over nonsensical complaints and problems as a kind of compulsive distraction from our actual problems, then the it makes sense that the emergence of yet another real, urgent problem in reality would just cause people to disconnect even more and retreat into their little worlds of fake concerns. This whole sudden focus on racism, to the extent it's not a game being played on the public stage by political actors, just seems to me like a nostalgia for the old problems we had when things were comparatively good, problems that made sense and that we could solve. The real problems facing human civilization are of a scope and scale that nobody can do anything about them even if they knew what to do, so the incentive is just to become fixated on some other topic that seems more tractable -- it's like choosing anger over despair.

Something that you not have been aware of is in the American education system (including universities) is the lack of actual education (no real history or civics taught) but the indoctrination of race-ism, sexism, & veneration the ideas of Karl Marx.

The answer is simple. Just smile politely and say ‘your issues are not important to me, you should direct them to someone who cares’.

My mom and I have been talking a lot about the unelected health officials too lately. These political leaders at the oval and state level might truly be scared, so whatever their top health official tells them, they are happy to go along with it. I asked my mom well what do we do? These people are unelected. And there lies the problem. You never know how someone is going salivate at the chance of having power that they never, ever thought they would have. And for a lot of them, there is no going back as long as they can help it.

Sadly as with Thomas Sowell and many others, I fear they will not be valued until well after the pendulum has swung so far that real damage has been done for decades. I often think of the movie The Terminator. There's a line where he says "its in your nature to destroy yourselves". Maybe thats true. I hope not.
