Life at the Bottom is a fantastic book.

If you just got out of college, it is a pretty good bet you got all the wrong ideas.

That depends in order to start some chartered institute qualifications you may require a hnc (1st year)hnd(2nd year) for example.

Great guest and interview!! I have really enjoyed this

Wow, this was very powerful. The section around 22:00 about people feeling they have to pretend they have no agency in order to keep their victim position going is among the saddest things I have ever heard... and so true. The focus on misconception being the root of so much suffering is something I entirely agree with.

I love it when an American pronounces "Birmingham" as "Ber-ming-ham" it's pronounces kinda like "Ber-ming-um"! (Depends on accent and dialiect of course!)

Good show!!!

is it me or does that guy sound like Christopher Hitchens?

Asa J side by side... his voice less so... but his accent, of course, and emphasis and timing in his speech sure do -

For those interested in such things, there's a movie called "Nil By Mouth" that's about this underclass Dalrymple talks about.

I'm a huge leftist but must admit that I have no idea what to do about people who are hard up, are given help, and then proceed to utterly squander the help they're given.

Hello chief, I'm a survivor of unimaginable violence, and I started at the bottom of society, the solution is to relentlessly read/watch stories about people who have started with nothing but who have dragged themselves up to success... Up From Slavery by Booker T Washington is probably the best starting point...

They're the people most disillusioned with the world for whatever physical disorders, traumatic, or generational shit or what have you. Deeper, more complex underlying issues. I think it's fascinating to be honest, not every person is going to fit into society, you hear it in drill music and I think we have to understand it more deeper, maybe it'll help us understand all of us somehow

Supporting and subsidizing bad behavior, is that really any good idea?`Will we not just get more of it?

Okay, Okay, I am abject failure!! Now that is out of the way, can I start climbing the ladder to become a better person now?

cpawp so you're the other guy :)

Let's hope he continues to not need to feel punished for controversial views... (yet)

Is this guy British? He seems to sensible to be British :-) I hate to say this, but I like this guys ideas.

This guy is a Tom plant :-) Drop the phony British accent and go back to trading stock. :-) Only kidding. Isn't incredible that common sense and honesty transcends ideology and cultural divide
