The Next Big Thing Might Be a World War

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit glennloury.substack.com Right after I taped this week’s episode with John McWhorter, I got on a call with my creative director Nikita Petrov, expecting some follow ups. We talked about Syria, the world’s reaction to Trump’s victory, P. Diddy’s parties, the reasons the labor movement never got the same kind of momentum in the US as it did in Western Europe, and more. But we started by connecting two topics from my conversation with John: the surprisingly cheerful reactions to a killing of an insurance firm CEO in New York, and the seeming demise of DEI as a movement.

John McWhorter – November 2024 Q&A

Normally, free subscribers to the newsletter and podcast have to wait until Friday receive the new episode. And normally Q&A sessions with John McWhorter, in which we answer questions posed by the audience, are only available to full subscribers. But today is no normal day—I’m releasing our Q&A from last month to everyone. Become a subscriber at https://glennloury.substack.com Mike Spooner wants to know how I came around to supporting Trump Substack Reader wants to know if Trump’s reelection signals that we’re entering an era where “reason and common sense once again prevail.” Michoel Stern senses that I’m becoming more isolationist, and that I don’t want America to be the world’s policeman. So what is the alternative? Robert Odear asks if there is “an accepted metric for linguistic complexity,” and if there is one, whether linguistically complex societies also tend to be advanced societies. Nancy wants to know if the triumph over “wokeness” represented by Trump’s election is being felt on campus. Jonathan E. Burack wants to know why I haven’t responded to this review of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Message. Pete Bradshaw asks what we think of the use of political slurs like “fascist,” “Hitler,” and “commie.” Cara C. suggests that, while it was wrong for Democrats to use lawfare against Trump, it is acceptable for Republicans to use it against Democrats, if only to teach them a lesson.
