The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

Podcasts like this help you build your thought process that are not biased - something very, very badly needed in the US. Kudos to the entire team.

Great show today . It’s a tough topic and you dealt with it gracefully .. I’m 70 now so I have a lot of clarity about my interactions with changing sexual mores and my own aspirations in the world. Original Sin. As a Catholic I love it. Crooked timber indeed. I was selfish and greedy in my sexual pursuits because I felt hurt and lost and had an unhealthy need to win and be recognized as having power. The 80 20 rule. People tend to want the most attractive men and women when they are not the most attractive people themselves. A lot of the alienation canes from people being greedy and selfish and not having gratitude for the people that do like them . They always want more. In the past hundred years I think we are the only people that have been subject to relentless sex based marketing of advertising We think that is what winning is … status is .. It does seem like beauty standards are becoming broader .. maybe narrow casting will enable individuals to be seen because of the quality of their work and the content of their character. There are hundreds of interesting podcasts that would never have been seen in the old media environment .. Lately I have been seeing the legacy media as a brain dead soul destroying oligopoly .. how can I dig out from under their power .. Sidebar .. as a democrat that would like to win elections I find the focus on on poor scmuck in El Salvador very destructive to my party .. There are a hundred policy changes that thoughtful democrats could advocate to deal with 20 million illegal migrants … how could they possibly break through .. the intra party incentives are all too leftist and the media is useless ..

I don’t agree with Jonah on many things — but he and his guests always make me think. I appreciate that in this media environment more than anything.

Jonah, thank you so much for eloquently espousing beliefs with which I more often than not agree. A real breath of fresh air in this all or nothing environment in which we live. I was beginning to believe that sanity was rare, but then I found this podcast.
