Hello friends, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Tim Stanley, he's a historian, author and lead writer for the Daily

Telegraph.

The modern world has given us a lot, safety and warmth, lighting at night, medicine, new

age religions, delivery and only fans, but a lot of people feel unhappy with the life

that modernity has handed them, and a pull toward a different style of living, one where

they embrace values of the past rather than the future.

Like to learn why the West is at war with its own history, why Notre Dame nearly became

a swimming pool, why liberalism is the primary villain, how conservatives are terrible at

conserving things, how men's roles in society have been eroded, why all revolutions look

the same and much more.

I actually think this is a conversation that a lot of people are having this sort of

wistful nostalgic desire for a simpler time when the world wasn't crazy and there wasn't

social media bombarding your face 24 hours a day and didn't take an hour to get to and

from work and you didn't feel like materialistic possessions, whether basis for your own sense

of self-worth in the world, it's an interesting one to see whether there will be a counterculture

to modern culture and if the counterculture actually comes from stuff that our parents'

generation and our grandparents' generation did, very interesting.
