I haven’t done a Mailbag in a while, so leave your questions below. Anyone can ask a question, but only paid subscribers will get the answers.
If you see a question you find particularly interesting, click on like, and that will help determine which ones I end up answering. I won’t respond to things that I’ve already talked about elsewhere. Many of you absolutely love to ask about IQ differences and immigration, which I’ve discussed at length time and time again. It’s ok, not everyone has read everything I’ve written, but if you are curious about something I might have addressed already, that’s what the search function is for.
What do you think of the role of people like Chris Rufo & Alex Epstein in the current environment ? I think they are similar in the sense that they are still in MAGA’s good graces but do not have complete right wing brain worms yet.
I have the sense that compared to you they seem to be more focused on their specific issues (universities/wokeness & energy respectively) so they are still trying get something out of the MAGA movement & are much friendlier to it. At the same time this focus on the details of specific issues makes them seem more grounded & sane than someone like Musk. Do you think these people are right to act this way based on their more activist profile or do you think it is the duty of any person with brains & dignity to be more explicitly critical ?
Do you think the Democratic party under Andrew Jackson is a good historical analogue for the Republican party under Trump? I know a number of historians have made the parallel -- a relatively LHC party / culture oriented around a populist leader with little regard for elite institutions or tradition. And if so, is that potentially reason for hope about America's political future?
