"The French Revolution was a disaster: killed X million people led to the rise of Napoleon--perhaps the world's first totalitarian fascist dictator who began wars of conquest that killed an additional X million people led to the restoration of slavery to the restoration of the monarchy and a delay of democracy in France by perhaps a century. Russian Revolution killed several million led to the Russian Civil War--which killed another X million--led to the rise of Stalin who killed XX million. There's an old clich: you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Well it ignores the fact"

"Me: I try to look at data and trends rather than headlines because headlines can give you a misleading picture of the state of the world. Something goes wrong every day thats guaranteed and if you just look at something goes wrong and say oh things are getting worse you might be forgetting all the things that went wrong in the past. Andrew Marr: And what we call the news is a long litany of all the things that are getting worse or going wrong. Me: Well yes its much easier for something bad to happen suddenly than for something good to happen. Good things either creep up on you a few"

"EO Wilson as Peggy Sastre writes was Patient Zero in academic cancel culture the campaign to discredit scholars with heterodox beliefs by smearing them with fanciful nefarious political motives. Back in 1975 after one of the first modern challenges to the doctrine of the blank slate he was the target of a petition preposterously accusing him of justifying slavery and genocide. Not even death was an escape: a historian trawled through his correspondence and got him re-canceled for a sympathetic personal letter to an even more reviled professor"

"I explain why the accusation that Israel is committing "genocide" is blood libel. Me: The application of the word genocide to refer to tens of thousands of war deaths is I mean I think it is a kind of blood libel. It's trying to import the moral opprobrium that we associate with genocide to a designated enemy in this case Israel. I think because I alluded to my side bias the sides in this case being the sides that a lot of hard left critical theory has defined namely white oppressors against everyone else's victims. Moynihan: It's pretty strong to say this is like a blood libel. Me: Well it"
