Dalrymple is a brilliant, brilliant man. It is saddening that few media outlets are ever interested in what he has to say.

He's an extraordinarily nasty hypocrite. He's made a name for himself vilifying that class of people the Tories threw overboard 40 years ago all the while ignoring mass criminality and feckless behaviour among the "elite"

Great writer, describes the decline of modern culture brilliantly. I’d highly recommend his books of essays.

I agree, although I find his earlier books about his own life as a young doctor in all sorts of weird and wonderful places around the world even more interesting. The best of those is Fool Or Physician (1987) in my opinion. He's also published some short story books recently which rely heavily on those experiences, as you may know.

And yet oddly he only ever punches down. He only vilifies working class people in prison, for example, rather than the associated spivs, crooks and criminals in the City

Fantastic interview. As an author utterly brilliant but on camera he is charming, witty, and marvelous. Wish he was interviewed more often!

Glad I found the channel.

‘Undermining of refinement’ is a good way of putting it.

Dalrymple is razor sharp, he tells it like it is and can smell BS a mile off, a most brilliant observer of people and cultures...

Modern Orwell(theodore), dalrymple and curtis yarvin, are my top youtube searches.

A fascinating discussion and report, and reflection, on experiences and how things are. Very interesting that Theodore Dalrymple mentioned prudence as a virtue. (Erasmus wrote the marvellous-'In Praise of Folly', about Folly or Stultitia, (and Prudence or Sapientia, is the opposite of Folly.). Poking fun could be why so much is dumbed-down. Another thing, in the local primary school the children were under the belief that boasting, (and showing-off), was what they were supposed to do, and they were darling children, all it took was 'you mustn't boast darling, in a kind, and quiet, 'tone of voice' for them all to start chorusing, 'no, you mustn't boast!!' They'd say this to their classmates', it was completely friendly even though they'd never heard it voiced before, they all recognised it for the right thing. In fact they all seemed to be able to rise to the occasion, so it's really worth trying to keep up standards, (thinking about a possible 'under-class'). A very interesting thing the Receptionist pointed out was that the children were very subject to the weather. Eg stormy days were very lively!

I feel terrible that I have only now heard about Dr. Dalrymple and his focus. I owe it to Jordan Peterson to introducing me to him. I look forward to reading your books. We'd have very different (more effective) societies if 90% of us followed this man's work. We all need to learn to read, to listen, to think, to analyze and be responsible for our thoughts and actions. This starts at early childhood. I think it's disgusting the way the mainstreet media don't include people like him in their daily newscasts. The MSM is terrified of delivering the truth and a path for better thinking.

A very nice young man interviewing. A pity he doesn't ever smile or cease looking worried.

Well lads, it's time to bally well save our civilisation. I'm a toilet cleaner, and I'm running for a seat in the Senate in my country. on a platform of Western Values .Let's bring back good old common sense! Best wishes all, Cheerio!

Whilst I appreciate that no one can really be expected to conjure up a solution, the fact is that whilst difficult it is not an overly complicated situation to solve. Imposing conditions and standards of life on the young as existed when this country were healthy and virile, administered by those currently willing and wanting to do so for the chance at resurrecting the country and British civilisation. With easy international travel, having refugia elsewhere in the world to conduct such operations need not be a blocked by qualms, 'scruples' & vindictive action by our current regime and their network of spite.

Given that the Tories have been in charge of this country for the majority of the last 45 years perhaps they can explain why things have declined so much? And why their allies in the media and corporations have sought deliberately to dumb everything down and coarsen society

I'm in "Silicon Valley" in California and like everywhere else in the US, there are tons of homeless people. But really, a lot of the long-term homeless are simply broken. In the old days they're the kind of people who might be put in charge of watching the cows, or taking care of the chickens, or something. Something not too physically or mentally taxing where they couldn't do much harm. But those jobs are all gone now. What we really need to do here in California is to take some of the huge cities we've laid out and never finished (really, look it up!) and finish them and have them be "humane sanctuaries" for these broken people. 3 hots and a cot, TV, game and crafts and things, gardening and so on, and just a humane place for them to live out their lives and not crap things up for the rest of us. Like they do with "retired" chimps. And if some of them are able to make a go of it out in the real world again, let 'em.

Hi@@alexcarter8807 Check out Victor David Hansen’s weekly podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-victor-davis-hanson-podcast/id1497835168?i=1000491612428 He lives in the Imperial Valley somewhere but commutes to Stanford Univ regularly and has many trenchant thoughts on your situation in California. Thx for your interesting idea. The world has rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is is the only solution the “Lord God Maker of Heaven and Earth” has provided for us, but mankind keeps trying his own methods with predictably ruinous results. A bigger problem... "Enemies Within,” 7:21- 30:00 kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6ClupKHYczcqag.html Our govt and institutions are penetrated with subversives, agents, Marxists, Quislings, operatives, criminals & Godless ideologues -unapposed by any meaningful internal security. This is also off the mark.... Amintore Fanfani*, “Catholicism, Protestantism and Capitalism”, 1934 “The essence of capitalism…can only meet with the most decided repugnance on the part of Catholicism.“ “In an age in which the Catholic conception of life had a real hold over the mind [the middle ages], capitalistic action could only have manifested itself as something erroneous, reprehensible, spasmodic, and sinful, to be condemned by the faith and knowledge of the agent himself. Never could such an age have seen the beginning of the century-long development that has brought capitalistic society into existence. As a matter of fact, we cannot doubt that in a perfectly Catholic age purely technical progress would not have found such powerful incentives as in a capitalistic civilization.” “The pre-capitalist age is the period in which definite social institutions such as, for instance, the Church, the State, the Guild, act as guardians of an economic order that is not based on criteria of individual economic utility. The Corporation or Guild is typical of the period. It is the guardian of a system of economic activity in which the purely economic interests of the individual are sacrificed either to the moral and religious interests of the individual-the attainment of which is under the control of special public institutions-or to the economic and extra economic interests of the community. Competition was restricted; the distribution of customers, hence a minimum of work, was assured; a certain system of work was compulsory; trade with various groups might be forbidden for political or religious reasons; certain practices were compulsory, and working hours were limited; there were a number of compulsory feasts; prices and rates of increase were fixed; measures were taken to prevent speculation.” “Moreover, the Catholic conception cannot grant the individualism that is a postulate of capitalism, still less can it agree that society should be organized on an individualistic basis. This is why the Popes of the last two centuries have so definitively condemned liberalism, seeking to circumscribe its effects in the economic and social spheres by indirect and direct encouragement of social legislation, and looking forward to the time when it should give place to a cooperative organization of society.” Source: Ecclesiastical Megalomania www.trinitylectures.org/ecclesiastical-megalomania-the-economic-and-political-thought-of-the-roman-catholic-church-paperback-p-159.html Comment: It is this thinking still prevalent in Italy which holds back the free enterprise growth of its economy. ----------------- “There is not, and never was on this earth, a work of human policy so well deserving of examination as the Roman Catholic Church.” - Thomas Macaulay (1800-1859) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Babington_Macaulay *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amintore_Fanfani

@@alexcarter8807 a numbervof them in the past would have been in ‘asylums’ that had a huge downside, but did give some long term disordered people somewhere to live and ‘be’ where drink and drugs were (mostly) not available. As someone sadly said about the US ‘Many mentally disordered have all the rights but no care anymore, and their disorder prevents them exercising their rights, and the absence of care, destroys them as humans’.

Living proof that a human can make a video call holding a phone vertically and silhouetted by two windows and not be a complete idiot.

Mankind’s 3,000 years of recorded history is in reality very short. Man hasn’t been racking up knowledge long enough to think he really knows much if anything meaningful at all. The highest knowledge we have about God is in the Bible. The Bible is our highest source of knowledge about Godliness, which is the last thing people want, and which is the most important thing people need. It’s always been an uphill battle but without it freedom fails. “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. I would say you’re pretty much screwed.

The teaching profession has replaced knowledge for care.

So what? Settle in with some tea and digestives and enjoy.

In case any orange balloon admirers drift in, caution: This guy is a real Conservative. I'm sure he has nothing but contempt for your hero. The Bloviating Peach is awful at business, has been on the gov't teat from the get-go, and is a horrible person. He's the trailer-park version of a "rich" person. When he was allowed to infest the White House, my first thought was, Oh if William F. Buckley were still around! He'd tear him to ribbons!

Here's a piece of advice, get rid of the interviewer! He's useless.

Very weak, milk toasty kind of statements. And then this evasive language ... Almost unbearable. Tell use your conclusions! Who cares if someone gets offended? This is one of the main reasons why nothing changes. Because people don't have the guts to make bold statements. Being politically correct has never accomplished anything.
