Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass (Theodore Dalrymple)
A classic work on the underclass, which I use to define my program for distinguishing between the deserving and the undeserving poor, and treating each with justice. Plus, a variety of thoughts on modern Great Britain, none complimentary. (This article was first published September 29, 2018.)

"When I am dictator, which hopefully will be any day now, I am going to bring back what was once a crucial distinction. Namely, the sharp separation between the deserving and the undeserving poor. Theodore Dalrymple’s book shows both why that distinction is necessary, indeed absolutely essential, and why it has fallen from favor among those who decide society’s rules. Moreover, Life at the Bottom offers a wide range of food for related thoughts, so many that I am afraid, beginning this review, that it is likely to go on for a very long time. But at the end, I will solve all the problems for you. Strap in." . . .

Once more Charles beats me to a book I’ve been planning to read
Great video. It's the same outside the USA. No responsibility for anything, no judgement for anything. I do recommend Jonathan Haidt's book on Morality, which studied from where the lower and higher classed take their morals from.
Hi Charles, I recently came across your podcast reviewing Curtis Yarvin's thought in general (though restricted to select writings) and found your criticisms to be incisive (though, of course, that could just be due to my ignorance of Yarvin, yourself and the primary literature). Regardless, I look forward to watching this and future content. I find it exhilarating to encounter people far more erudite and well spoken than myself, the fact also being a personal frustration. It keeps me humble whenever I realise that true intelligence is not whatever I am.

Huh. Why is that? You know, such statements are not self-proving, except of the idiocy of the speaker.
