Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The Pilgrim's Progress
Buy on Amazon"I'm speaking with author, columnist, and political commentator Douglas Murray, who has been on my podcast a number of times. We talked about his latest book not so long ago, titled 'The War on the West.'"
The Pilgrim's Progress
Buy on Amazon"I gave the example in my last book, 'The War on the West,' of a rather delicious yet savage lesson a group of French sailors learned after Rousseau's writings. They were heavily influenced by Rousseau, land on an island in New Zealand, and assume the native people live in a state of nature."
The Blank Slate
Buy on Amazon"That's one of the things Pinker is right about in 'The Blank Slate'—violent deaths in tribal societies in pre-modernity were way higher than the average violent deaths of a European male in the 20th century. So, to some extent, this is a natural state."
Don Juan
Buy on Amazon"She said, 'I'm translating Don Juan of Lord Byron's in my head.' Now the poem is 17,000 lines. He said, 'Okay, I'll give you a piece of paper and a pen, and I'll come back in the morning.'"
