Thanks Frank.

I read your latest book a few weeks ago. It was moral support for my projects of steeping myself in Western traditions of music, poetry and philosophy.

Also, I listened to John Anderson interviewing former Oz PM Tony Abbott today and Anderson commented on the current notion of today having more wisdom than the past; a good example of presentism. Then Abbott said that the definition of a conservative is someone who doesn't consider himself morally superior to his grandfather. Olé!

I'd be surprised if they both haven't read your book. And I'd be surprised if John Anderson hasn't interviewed you. I'm heading to YouTube right now to check.

Thank you Frank, its is fascinating that even in the act of attempting to shut down debate the ruling elite and their paid promoters betray their fears. This use of the phrase 'dog whistle' strikes me as an attempt by the ruling elite to indulge in performative mind reading, whereby a real problem is misrepresented and an actual problem can be safely ignored.
