The hero in the American story is "the individual that stands up to the crowd." Catch @JonahDispatch on our latest episode talking Jacobins, Millenarians, and other death cults.

One difference between Liberalism & its utopian cousins is that it takes human nature seriously. It's a guardrail against the worst tendencies of, rather than an attempt to solve, the human condition. @JonahDispatch (He Who Must Not Be Complimented) joined me for a Marvel Feature-length talk on Uncertain Things to discuss. Full episode's out wherever you listen to podcasts.

Yesterday @Nadav_Eyal and I got waylaid mid-discussion by a difficult question: what's motivating Iranian leadership? Is it regional Great Power Realpolitik? Or is it eschatological fantasies of death, destruction, and martyrdom?

Just published one of my favorite convos on Uncertain Things: the inimitable @AlanDersh and I discuss his new book "The Preventive State," the origins of law, whether transparency is necessary for a democratic jurisprudence, and even had a Talmudic detour.

Maybe the chaos and the bloodiness were the appeal all along? My stream-of-consciousness thoughts about the revolutionary craving and the temptation of nihilism.

A while ago @pescami admonished me for blaming everything that's going wrong in our politics on nihilism. My response came two months later, at a bar, two martinis in, in the form of a stream-of-consicousness rant clumsily typed on a phone. Here goes: uncertain.substack.com/p/the-jacobin-…
