Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. My guest today is Eric Kaufman. Eric is a political scientist who's written several great books, including

Will the Religious Inherit the Earth and White Shift. Eric was a professor at Birkbeck College

University of London for many years. I think he was actually the head of the department there,

before he was pushed out for his political views. So we talk about that story at the top of

this interview. And then we talk

about a whole bunch of topics. We discuss the sociologist Daniel Bell. We talk about why birth rates

are declining in the secular world and why it matters. We talk about high birth rate populations

like Hasidic Jews and the Amish. We talk about the tension between liberal politics on immigration

and liberal politics on LGBTQ. We talk about why Canada and Scotland are so much further to the

left on gender and trans issues than America is. And finally, we talk about why it is that

conservatives appear to be happier in the data than liberals generally, and why religious people also tend to be

happier than secular people, and what lessons, if any, we can draw from that. This was one of my

favorite podcasts I've done this year, and I hope you enjoy it. So without further ado, Eric Kaufman.

Okay, Eric Kaufman. It's great to finally get you on the podcast.

Coleman, it's great to be here. I'm glad we were able to do it.
