0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. We have free today a round table of some remarkable |
0:13.7 | public intellectuals, many of whom you will know some of them may be new to you. We have Glen |
0:19.1 | Lowry, who is the Martin P. Stoltz professor of economics at Brown University and the host |
0:25.2 | of the Glen Show on Bloggingheads TV. We have John Wood Jr., who is the national ambassador |
0:32.4 | of Braver Angels and a quitter contributor at Quillette magazine. We have Coleman Hughes, |
0:38.7 | who is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor at City Journal. |
0:43.4 | We have Chloe Valdery, who is the founder of Theory of Enchantment. Thomas Chatterton |
0:49.4 | Williams, who is contributing writer at the New York Times magazine and a columnist at Harper's. |
0:55.1 | And we have Camille Foster, who is a partner at Freethink and an unindicted co-conspirator at the |
1:01.0 | Fifth Column Podcast. And John McWerter, who is professor of linguistics at Columbia University. |

1:39.7 | ancestry. I believe that that fact is sufficient to set the conversation in motion. |
1:46.8 | And at some level, that makes me the token white in this conversation. So I guess, |
1:52.8 | is that is that some kind of progress? Maybe. |
1:55.4 | Thank you, but you also have African ancestry. All of us have entirely African ancestry. |
2:02.8 | That thank you, Chloe. I probably should have said recent African ancestry. |
2:09.7 | And I guess I should ask, recent African ancestry, is it fair to say that I'm an evolutionary |
