      What I am most grateful for is that he is in our lifetime. Amongst all the total trash and utterly ridiculous minds living in the same world as ours it's wonderful we can help ourselves to exist by reading his books and listening to wise people like him. My son was in his teen yrs when he started reading his books and it set him on a path of reading, teaching himself about the world by listening to Douglad Murray and thinking sense abilities that will last a lifetime..

As a creative activist (through the medium of music) I feel compelled to fully explore this rabbit hole. This is a war against global attrition on reason itself.

      Agreed. The problem with judging people by "the content of their character" is that unlike in the 70s and 80s, it's now a settled debate. Some groups and communities have been proven to be totally lacking in character or any redeeming quality. One community in my opinion is a monolith of bad actors and poor characters. They can no longer wished to be judged by their character because they have none. I imagine MLK knew this at the time but hoped with time they'd overcome. It's utterly depressing and wholly hilarious to see them try to pretend.

      Well said Karl. As a woman, I am equally horrified by the neo-feminist movement which dictates that women are better than men and I am astonished to find that even some men seem to have fallen into submission and have accepted that it is socially acceptable for women to ridicule, belittle and put men (as a group entity) down and yet it is unacceptable for women to be criticised for this (unacceptable apparently because they tells us that we women are a suppressed group!). Regardless of our gender, sexuality, race, or religious identities, we are INDIVIDUALS first and foremost and should be judged as an individual.

    keep the podcasts coming. We all need to think about things more and exercise our natural instincts which works out to be common sense! We need more of it.
