There will be “no safe space, no sanctuary from wokeism until the system starts to erode the safety and the security of the elite that created it,” says classicist and historian Victor Davis Hanson.
In this episode, Hanson breaks down the problems he sees plaguing American society today, from the assault on meritocracy to the “Frankenstein monster” of moral relativism.
Throughout society today, elites justify their control of or manipulation of information as for the good of the people, Hanson says. It’s the “noble lie”: “I’m smarter than you. I’m your platonic guardian. I can lie for your own good…Just don’t dare suggest I’m lying,” Hanson says.
Mr. Hanson
Thank you for the demonstration of your complete lack of self-awareness.
And special thanks for yet another one of your discussions of COVID-19 science, alway good for a laugh.
I eagerly await your insights into quantum mechanics, a field you understand even better than medicine.
A complete lack of understanding should never be a bar to developing a firmly held opinion.
Greetings! Very helpful advice within this article!
It’s the little changes that will make the most important changes.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
