Episode description

Dennis is in St. Louis and asks Julie… why has being successful not gone to your head?  They spend time defining success versus accomplishment.  Many American kids when asked what they want to be when they grow up answer: famous.  Fame is wildly overrated… what matters is that you’ve touched people with good values.  They discuss the inversions in modern American society… we have privileged people protesting privilege.  Contrived victimhood is sickening.  Why is merit considered to be a white supremacist value?  Don’t say America is not systemically racist… the Left IS systemically racist.  Is there anything the Left could do that would persuade a Democrat to vote Republican?  Julie mentions her great interview with Monica Harris, the author of The Illusion of Division.  How do you navigate the widening moral and civilizational gap in this world and maintain friendships?  Dennis advocates compassion in the micro and standards in the macro.
