    S2 EP3 - Greed

    Avarice, or Greed as we would call it today, now there’s a proper vice, one we can all surely identify with, claim and confess to. One of the defining quotations of the materialistic 1980s came from the fictional character Gordon Gecko, the junk bond pirate played by Michael Douglas in the Oliver Stone film, Wall Street. “Greed,” he tells a dinner of fellow financiers, “for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works”. It’s easy to dismiss this. Your instinct might be to shake your head sadly, or scoff angrily. Yet...

    For two thousand years Pride has stood at the very top of the list of the Seven Deadly Sins. Perhaps no longer. Perhaps a new sin is rising to replace it. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Disappointing.

I like Stephen and generally have a lot if time for him, but his myopic, sweeping generalisations of the left are reductionist and deeply disappointing.

Not worth the listen

Never been more disappointed in a podcast, Stephen opens the podcast showing just how out of touch he is with reality, people are shouting louder than ever because people are fighting for their lives.
Comparing people that are trying to fight racism and people that are trying to ‘close the borders’ just shows how comfortable a life Stephen has made for himself on the fence.
From such a smart and eloquent man, I expected more. I’m glad that you just find yourself ‘politically homeless’ and not actually homeless like so many of us are one pay check away from being.
