In this solo episode, Eric shares three related audio essays. In the first essay, Eric admits that he has spent the last four years asserting that Donald Trump represented an Existential Risk, but without the usual contempt for his supporters. Here, Eric finally responds to the frequent requests for clarification of his unusual position, by beginning to explain what is behind his view of the Trump and MAGA phenomena.  In the second essay, Eric discusses the odd phenomena of Trump's post election strategy of contesting the election, and what to make of all those who refuse to accept Biden's apparent win despite the state of the legal battles and election certifications. In the last essay, Eric discusses loyalty in the context of close relationships where there are accusations of impropriety, and uses the framework set out to provide context for Sam Harris' public displeasure with still unnamed members of the Intellectual Dark Web. N.B. Eric and Sam have recently discussed the matter privately to make sure they have a generally shared mutual understanding of the events.  Thank you to our sponsors: Netsuite by Oracle: <a href="http://Netsuite.com/portal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Netsuite.com/portal</a> ExpressVPN: <a href="http://ExpressVPN.com/portal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ExpressVPN.com/portal</a> Blinkist: <a href="http://Blinkist.com/portal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blinkist.com/portal</a> Skillshare: <a href="http://Skillshare.com/theportal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skillshare.com/theportal</a> See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

42: Cashing Out My Trump & IDW Positions

If you don't know Douglas Murray, in the estimation of the The Portal, this may well be the most important voice you will hear from the United Kingdom for some time. In the tradition of De Tocqueville and Alistair Cook's famous "Letter from America," Douglas Murray is America's true friend. He is not the man who tells you that you look great and laughs at all your jokes, but the one who pulls the big mac out of your mouth, flushes your cigarettes down the toilet, locks your liquor cabinet and personally drives you to rehab until you straighten yourself out. I have met many men who train in combat sports, or extoll the virtues of masculinity. However, I know of none braver than Douglas Murray. In our time, this is one voice of relentless reason that everyone needs to hear.
