Episode notes
Britain's Deeper Malaise
- Britain's malaise transcends party politics, stemming from deeper, long-term issues.
- Stagnant economy, high illegal immigration, and declining cultural pride reflect this.
Western Complacency
- Kisin's book encourages celebrating Western freedoms and societal engagement.
- However, this engagement is lacking in the West, except for a disruptive force in America.
Risk Aversion Hinders Progress
- Western societies' increasing risk aversion hinders opportunities.
- Fear of words, strong sentiments, and lack of public convictions contribute to this.
