Thinking Class #040 - Lorenzo Warby - Why Our Genes And Cultures Undermine The Quest For Equality
Lorenzo Warby writes the substack Lorenzo from Oz, and he contributes regularly to one of Substack's recommended publications, Helen Dale’s Not On Your Team, But Always Fair.
In this episode, Lorenzo and I talk about what hereditarianism is, and whether it is compatible with our notions of equality, the pitfalls of making political decisions based on people's genes, cultures, and environment over considerations of equality, the current problems with making political decisions based on equality alone, why social justice ideals are so prevalent within our institutions, the core tenets of Western civilization and where they came from, and whether Western civilization has been subverted and the prospects of a restoration, and much more.
This is the second time Lorenzo has joined Thinking Class, and it won't be the last. You simply can't get bored of speaking with a polymath. We cover some serious ground here, and as in episode 29 when Lorenzo last joined me, He delivers.
Enjoy the show Classmates. And don't forget to subscribe.
