Episode notes
Met Gala and Garden of Time
- This year's Met Gala theme, "Garden of Time," was based on a J.G. Ballard short story.
- The story depicts elites in a walled garden, fending off a mob with magic flowers, mirroring the event's real-life juxtaposition.
Modern Elites vs. Ballard's Elites
- Today's elites sympathize with the mob, unlike the elites in Ballard's story.
- They believe they can control the mob, but history shows revolutions consume their own.
The Democratic Party and the Mob
- The Democratic Party uses economic payoffs like social welfare to control the mob.
- This strategy always fails because the mob's values are flawed, leading to bankruptcy.
