'In most developed countries, literacy was either declining or stagnating.' '... college graduates no longer read for pleasure.' Is this the 'Disenlightenment'? @j_amesmarriott and @jhendersonYT join @freddiesayers to discuss if declining literacy spells a coming dark age.

I don’t know anything about the politics of this interview but what I will say is at 2 hrs 23 mins in when they mention my dad and how quick the government was to gloss over it and move on I couldn’t agree more. m.youtube.com/watch?si=FwamW… They don’t want us asking questions…

This discussion of Anglofuturism is notable less for my own participation (late to the idea, yaps about it constantly) than for Aris' (wrote the canonical essay). Now – having previously been seen only by UnHerd members – it's on YouTube. Hope it's enjoyed.

Last week, @bungarsargon and I took part in a debate on the morality of the Gaza war and how it's playing out on the Right. As a friend of Israel, I believe its leadership has put it on a catastrophic course. Batya disagrees. Watch for yourself. unherd.com/watch-listen/h…

We need to get better at fighting for healthier sexual culture, instead of giving into fear at being called square/ uncool. We aren't in the 1960s any more, Porn and OnlyFans are changing the landscape. If we don't say it's wrong (out loud), what is going to change?
