  1. At March 8th the US was running at 200 new diagnosed cases a day, not 60 or 70 thousand new diagnosed cases a day.

  2. Two years before this interview, Molyneux spoke to Dr. James Flynn (after whom the Flynn Effect, a substantial increase in raw IQ test results over the last century, is named), Flynn offered well researched non-genetic explanations for the differences in IQ between races. Molyneux said nothing to dispute Dr. Flynn's arguments, so I'm surprised that in this interview with Rubin that Molyneux claims that no one has a comprehensive non-genetic explanation for the differences in IQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ0W5Efp8N0

  3. Keep in mind that only 5 - 20% of people are infected with the flu each year, likely herd immunity for covid is around 70% infected, so if Covid were to run unchecked through the population in a year fatality rates would be between 7 and 84 times that of the flu in one year, not 2 - 6 times (using the IFR Ben offers).

  4. Australian and NZ'er have for most of the last year lived without the issues you describe in the rest of the world, life has been normal, in NZ that situation continues. In Australia the goal is to return to that situation by eliminating the virus from the community. If that goal were achieved, as it had been before, it would certainly be worthwhile to avoid as you put it: "further lockdowns, masks, suicide, depression, more drug use and all of these things".

  5. In the 60's Britain accepted that decolonization of her territories around the world, granting them independence, it's a pity that the bureaucrats in the EU won't accept European decolonization of Britain.

  6.  @callummilburn2295  I agree, I see evolutionary psychology everywhere. Good arguments need to be applied to turn the British public and make them not part of the European political tribe. Fortunately for Britain escape from the European collective is still (just) possible, it might not be so in another couple of decades.

  7. Some on the right believe Israel can do no wrong, others believe the same skepticism should be applied to all.

  8. TEDx has always been a few tiers below TED, and that talk was 6 years ago.
