It was all pretty well until he started going on about how Anglo-Saxon vocabulary has a certain magic that Latin words lack. Really, this just shows more of his & societies decline in education. The reason that Latin based words seem so abstract is because schools no longer teach Latin -- formally a normal part of English education, which even Sargon admits. Almost all 'classic' English authors had to grind through Latin drills and translation exercises in their primary education. With the loss of formal Latin instruction, the specific meaning of these words has been blurred/lost as they've been used more as symbols of faux intelligence and emotive flair. That 'primordial Anglo-Saxon' lexicon only feels gripping because it's typically the first words taught & used extensively in general population writings, which target a reading level right around Middle School.Carl was just interviewed by Tom Woods.
He's continuing his evolution of attempting to form a post liberal ideology, but admits he has significant hang ups. Among which is he just simply cannot attune to spirituality. All pretty normal carl.
But the really interesting thing is he said out loud what he did with Lotus eaters. "I basically brought in a bunch of people way smarter then me to make a think tank".
So stoked about this. I am really rooting for Sargon at this point. I feel like he may actually do something now. He's transcending the limitations of the medium, and whether or not he realizes it he's being measured. He's come a long way from Applebee's.
