What's hilarious here (to me) is him admitting that cultural inheritance is real.
(The right-wing-adjacent evolutionary biologists have long claimed that it's all genetic! Helps justify the wealth accumulation.)
But, boy, if he can do this(!), there's an exciting intellectual journey ahead of him!

No matter the rationale, if this is the outcome, then a link in the logic chain is broken. We have been taught so since childhood. How do some "adults" still not get it?

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

apart from blocking George Conway, how do we stop him sharing Twitter screenshots on Bluesky?
he still has a lifetime of Republican karma to burn off, Trump still won in 2024, and his constituency is confined to the DC cocktail party circuit
what do people think he offers?

If the book is mega out of print and you can’t get a used copy it’s fine to get a scanned pdf but otherwise just buy it lol. Libraries and book stores are two of the only enriching spaces we have left in this country.
