As a gesture of goodwill, we interrupt the election doom/analysis-vomit to bring you a calm, collected, and pre-recorded conversation with political scientist Wilfred Reilly.
WR is great. He's right about most colleges and most students, even at some "better" schools much of the time. But at the better/best schools there is a public woke culture that can't be violated. So if anyone openly violates it, the punitive mechanism lurches into action, and nobody can disagree without being punished. The change wokeness made to the older left was to conceive any speech violation as genuine personal violence against a few fragile people (known or unknown). Empathy is a good thing -- the problem is when it is highly selective.
If the women who go to Race to Dinner are getting masochistic pleasure from it, well fine. But male masochists clearly have better taste, because pro-dommes are better looking, plus they wear very stylish leather gear. If you want to get beat up, good on you, but the Race to Dinner thing has no style at all.
I just asked where was this week's show and I at least got this. Danke! and shukriya (this Urdu adaptation sounds suspiciously similar to Arabic shokran :)
Razib I'm enjoying your political/cultural riff podcast! (took advantage of your sale and subscribed) and your genetic writeups are amazing (forwarded the most recent Basque one to a Mexican friend (whose mother was Basque)

Don't think I've heard the name Andrew Tate in a couple years. Is he still out there doing whatever it is he does?

thanks! by political/cultural riff you mean the Khanversation?
yessir! the one with Josiah
I mean this is the one that shows up as being first when you sort posts chronologically.
If you're going to contest this first post result, we may end up in the Supreme Court.
