Summary

Douglas Murray, author and associate editor of The Spectator, sits down with Bridget to talk about his latest book The War on The West. He and Bridget discuss how we're basically living through an assault on the principles of the Western tradition of the Enlightenment that were fundamental in our society, how our media landscape rewards the highly ignorant, the incredibly ugly race debate we're being lured into, why resentment doesn't get us anywhere, the difference between resentment and injustice, and how to stay off the crazy bus. They also cover the race debate around math, science and tests, why they dislike identity politics, permissable bigotries, why the unknowability of other people is a very important thing to keep in mind, how the answer to resentment is gratitude, and everything we have to be grateful for in our modern world.
