Thank you for this insightful interview Bari. Like you, I believe in the "Great Man Theory" (I'm using Man as short for Human), which you defended in this conversation. You have spent a great deal of time and many articles and comments on Trump. Fair enough; he remains a phenomenon. What I want to know is when will you call out Joe Biden…
Thank you for this insightful interview Bari. Like you, I believe in the "Great Man Theory" (I'm using Man as short for Human), which you defended in this conversation. You have spent a great deal of time and many articles and comments on Trump. Fair enough; he remains a phenomenon. What I want to know is when will you call out Joe Biden? Why didn't you ask Peter Turchin about Biden, since Biden is far from an elite in terms of education (he graduated 76th out of 85 students at his mediocre law school). Nor is Biden gifted with great looks, oratory skills, intelligence or charisma. I would have been truly interested to learn Turchin's interpretation of Biden's success, since Biden does not accord with any kind of elite mentioned, yet he is accelerating these "End of Times." Turchin appears to agree, since he references Biden's failure to raise the minimum wage, but you didn't ask: "How does Joe Biden, our current President fit into your theory?" Bari, you never take the opportunity to examine or criticize Biden. Nellie occasionally does, but you don't. Please start. The Great Man Theory you and I find credible insists you do.
