    Lonsdale should talk less and listen more. Ferguson is a genius and has the wherewithal to tell the world how it should do civilization.

      Agreed about the interruptions. I generally enjoy listening to Ferguson, as he's articulate and well-read. It sometimes takes him a while to complete a point but it's usually worth listening 'til the end.

    Mr. Lonsdale I love this show and I find each episode has great lessons.

    The only problem with this podcast... Is that it wasn't long enough.

    Great interview. Interesting discussion re reform of the administrative state. This is absolutely critical to a Western consolidation in the face of the dynamism and energy inherent in the challenge from China. 35-50% of western GDP is chewed up, wasted or redistributed by the state. We must live up to the great achievements of our ancestors to reboot our productive and creative capacities!

    Rule of law vs Rule of Lawyers. Great point about a legal system being too expensive for most ppl to access

    From my point of view, I think age isn’t an issue to treat leadership, it’s how and what the leader make decisions that matters.

      the leader is chosen by the people, theoretically.

    The American system is based on debt and getting as much debt into the system. The Chinese have followed suit as well.

    I think a great book to piggyback on some of what he said is "The Rational Optimist" by Matt Ridley. Its a great read if you arent busy already reading one of Niall's.

    Beloved remember utterance has a true foundation and an Aim before thy utterance LEAVES thy mouths beloved. Likewise with sincere conversations with God and to thyself and to one another sincere answers will be given indeed. Indeed availeth much. Specially before moving forward asked thy intent, thy based, thy foundation, and where thy hearts will be also beloved. Used these 2. 1st. Love God as a CHILDS 2nd. Love thy neighbors as thyself beloved. Truth and peace reunite

    If we want to improve things in the United States we need to reduce our reliance on income taxes by raising taxes on alcohol. We need to change State Statutes and Federal Obamacare law to allow discounts on premiums for sobers adults. We need to implement the NTSB recommendation of 2009 and lower the blood alcohol content to .05 from .08. Utah did this and had a 45% reduction in alcohol crashes and a 18% reduction in alcohol crash fatalities.

    My favorite geostrategist Peter Zeihan notes that crypto is the tulip craze without the tulips. I think of crypo as Beany Babies. For those who criticizes fiat money - what in the world is crypto which is based on absolutely nothing except hope-and-change?

    Bonjour
    Ils ont désinformer l'investigation, quand le dossier venait il n'avait pas toutes est tournure, ils ont été complexes devant les oeuvres et de former de plans pour s'approprier. C'est mes partenaires qui m'ont initié et à aucun cas ils ne doivent me laisser dans les mains de mes ennemis. J'ai mes références et n'ont même pas me rapprocher, me masqué devant la nation, aux personnels de l'institution ils m'ont vendu dans le monde entier en transformant en binesse. Désolée de leur actes.

    Not trying to reduce everything to silly politics, but there's any great civilization that grew from what we call ''left-wing mentality''?

    What flavor was the R Kool-Aid that you drank, Niall? Straight out of their playbook. Might as well be a parrot. Any standard R over the last 50 years could have given this interview. No new news here.

    Contact tracing can be done in democratic societies too if you can just ignore the privacy issue that being concerned. For Taiwan, pits a Chinese democratic society that somehow the oriental ppl has more or less submissive genes,?so you can do it in a society that majority of ppl are Chinese but n the western societies, the privacy concern and the respect to privacy was something they didn’t go this way to handle the pandemic!!

    Honestly can't understand why so much praise , after 5 minutes listening to this, got bored, it's all abstract dry opinions, "got to do this , not do this and that's the fix for everything", nothing concrete
