Persuasive with much validity, and yet dangerous and something slippery about the tone of it. Would much rather trust the guy who comes on at the end to question him. Nonetheless, still a stimulating contrast to over-liberalism. Has a good point to make, whether it’s fully ‘true’ or not. But he felt to me a bit like a politician. Remants of top down reasoning.
