    My conversation with Richard covers the origins and implications of civil rights law and its impact decades down the line. We also discuss the influence of wokeness, the role of social media, and the importance of wealth and economic development. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the disempowering discourse in the right-wing space and the need for a more balanced and optimistic perspective. We also discuss the concept of Red Caesar, the influence of technology on society, the decline in birth rates, and the role of the state in legislating morality.

    We also touch on the challenges of parenting in the digital age and the potential future of liberal democracy.

    We speak about:

    Positive gamification - giving away rice, planting trees, saving power.

    Dark gamification - most everything else.

    Releasing the pressure of expectations on young men.

    The technological revolution and its consequences.

    The culture war as a world-spanning game.

    Ideology as character creation in an RPG.
