Summary & Review:
Western societies are experiencing a great crowd derangement. Rather than trying to understand some of the most difficult and sensitive issues humanity can face, i.e. race, sex (or “gender” as we now all say), and sexual orientation, we are rushing headlong into unknown territory and crushing any who raise the slightest objections to the elitist accepted wisdom. Murray careful breaks down the most mine-riddled topics of the day and shows how each issue is far more complex than is often presented and argues that due to that complexity, we should slow down, talk to one another, and be far more generous in our interpretations of others’ actions and words.
This was another great book by Murray. I read The Strange Death of Europe (#408) a couple years ago and loved it. While the topics in this book weren’t quite as interesting to me as demographics are, Murray still made them fascinating to read about. Certain passages were simultaneously hilariously entertaining and incredibly depressing. Just check out Murray’s presentation of the Bret Weinstein story or his examination of manipulated Google searches and you’ll know exactly what I mean.
