I think it's invaluable to have people of such intellect, research capability and a willingness to go where others daren't. And this particular subject of Israel is important not just for its own sake (& it could become a massive conflict), but a test case for humanity to demonstrate its humanity β€” if we can solve this we can solve anything, and if we can't stop (or at least steer away from) such mindless killing, well honestly what's the point of tackling global warming or AI risks? (& I think both are important)

I like the sex/gender stuff too β€” also hugely important for greater harmony amongst us all, given how it affects relations, divorce, families etc. The Western world has gone mad on some of this stuff lately β€” it needs an injection of rationality.

And the most common factor amongst school shooters & terrorists is having a Dad-deprived childhood.

But I don't get a vote, because I'm not paying, because I'm unemployed. πŸ˜”

Well as you can probably tell from my many comments recently, I'm spending more time reading and thinking about your work than applying for jobs β€” because that's my passion, but unfortunately free-thinking public policy research isn't easily monetised, unless you get a lucky break like you did with Covid.

Please look at my work here, and get in touch if you want to discuss any of it:
