I love the fact that Douglas will not under any circumstance stand down from answering as truthfully as possible. One really gets to known him here, if we care to listen. Maybe even credits to lex here for being cheeky at times to distill it even further for us ! Sorry for the abysmal language, I come from Germany

I know I'm a little late to the conversation here, but as someone who was in a PhD program headed toward a CRT-type dissertation--and so gratefully thankful that that path didn't pan out--I can say with total truth that Murray is absolutely right about academic "activists" who push these ideologies out into society mostly for the benefit of furthering their branding within a career--tenure, book deals, speaking tours, pensions, and paying off sh!tloads of the student-loan debt they undertook to do this. Not to mention a practically self-serving idea of "changing things for the better"--well intended as they may think they're being--but it's mostly for the betterment of themselves. Genuine thirst for knowledge and truth--even when it's inconvenient--go out the window in favor of, perhaps not ill-intended, but nonetheless practical selfishness and positioning of themselves as "better" or "smarter" than "the masses." That ivory-tower thing is very real.

I am an East Indian man who has "made it" in America. Doug Murray is proud of his roots as he should be. There is no denying the fact that the Europeans were the original discoverers and are responsible for creating the "western" way of life that I and other non white immigrants thrive in.
I do think you need to differentiate America from the rest of the 'western' world that Doug Murray talks about. Doug Murray talks about it in the podcast himself - America was created on the basic premise that 'All men are created equal'. I don't actually feel that in other countries (including a non white country like China) but I mostly do in America.
Doug will sell many books (as will other non white 'oppressed' classes who complain about their lack of opportunity due to their skin color) but I urge all listeners here to move the discourse to a higher level where America is the first color blind society.
To my fellow white Americans who are appalled and resentful towards the minorities who increasingly bring up the race card - the pendulum has swung a bit too far left but it is a pendulum after all - it will course correct and let's let this country be the one shining light on the hill where men of every color (including white) are increasingly looked at with a colorblind lens.
I hope and pray the political discourse in 2024 is about the values and principles that have made America this awesome heterogenous society I and other dozens of non white immigrants now call home. May God bless America in 2024.

(27:05) "I have the right to talk about whatever the hell I want, and no one gonna stop me or intimidate me or tell me that I can't simply because of my skin color". Well, he hit the nail in the head. Bravo.
