This guy is so wrong on so many points I have to write a whole essay.
If radical inequality is necessary for 'greatness', 'greatness' is overrated. The 'frenzy' might not be worth it. 'But how would we get to where we are???' - it doesn't matter. Maybe slavery was necessary at some point to 'advance' civilization. So what? We stand where we are, and can decide that inequality is no longer worth it. We keep the good, discard the bad. (Of course his whole thesis is dubious, since we have plenty of research about how inequality degrades and stagnates societies, rather than improving anything.
He thinks vanity is the driving force of achievement, but lots of the 'achievers' he likes actually suck. Facebook and Palantir are the foundation of the American economy? wtf are you talking about man. Palantir is evil, the ambition that created it is not something we want in society.
Real anthropologists don't agree with most of what he says, and we have overwhelming evidence that status and money are terrible for people and cause acquired narcisisstic tendencies. And that highly unequal societies have much more violence and other negative results he spends very little time on.
Switzerland had 500 years of peace and brotherhood. If true, that's a BETTER ACHIEVEMENT than almost any other civilization. Then he counterpoints that with competition between states. Well, that's just a game theory trap - competition is bad after all! Oh and nevermind that Switzerland managed for centuries to mostly neutralize its competitors (those seeking 'greatness' at the cost of inequality). And totally And they invented complex machinery anyway. His counterpoints to this are really, really weak.
He also casually states that American military might 'protects American and Canadian interests' - that's a HUGE claim. American military efforts have frequently destabilized the world in ways that probably harms America. He seems to be a fan of American militarism. I am not.
I dislike even his use of 'greatness' in very vague terms without examining whether the things he talks about ARE ACTUALLY GREAT.

"Healthcare racism" Um yeah dude, racial attitudes affect healthcare - where are hospitals built, what's covered, which diseases get research - think about the AIDS crisis and how the government ignored a plague because the people dying were unpopular. "Healthcare homophobia" doesn't have much of a ring to it, but if I said it Tucker would know what I meant. Tucker's smart, I wish he wouldn't pull this silly game of PRETENDING not to understand what the Left is saying. If you really didn't know what she meant and this quote is from months ago, why not ask her campaign, or, like, anyone else? For what its worth, I hate when liberals do the same - "what do these crazy conservatives even mean???" I dunno, maybe you should ask them. Like a journalist would. If you run a national show and don't understand a major candidate's politics, ask her - they have people for that. Come one Tucker, you're just punching down on Warren being a bad public speaker.

uh I'm sorry but you got the language stuff straight backwards: "Though dozens of languages were spoken, the only official languages were German and Hungarian" - I disagree, the Imperial bureaucracy printed legal documents and proceedings in 12 OFFICIAL languages, and courts were required to accept testimony in most of them. Only the military required soldiers to all speak German or Hungarian, for obvious practical reasons, and even then, they often had the legally recognized right to communicate in their native tongue in non-combat situations. I wouldn't argue that having no clear ethnic majority is bad, its kind of a feature, honestly. Apparently the British Empire had a lot more rebellion, defection and disloyalty from their ethnic minorities than the Austrian empire had during WWI, tho Austro-Hungary suffered from the entire extended royal family dropping dead and getting crushed militarily. Ethnic Nationalism became a lot more popular and radically separatist in the aftermath.

Yes we do. Many people have been talking about. Krystal Ball, on Rising, for one, is a leftist who talks about how damaging the social isolation is. Fareed Zakaria, who I don't agree much with, said during the lockdown protests that of COURSE lockdown is hurting people both economically and socially, and we need a solution.
There is no good option in COVID. There is bad and worse. Lockdowns are bad. No lockdowns is worse. A national mask mandate, widespread temperature testing, and of course keeping schools online (school opening is absurd - kids spread germs, c'mon) - if we do all that, we can avoid lockdowns.

Daniel Tammet is accused of being a fraud, not because he can't do amazing memory feats, but because he claims 'savant' status to what are fully teachable skills. He's not even the best. There's a book called 'Moonwalking with Einstein', which explores how people LEARN, even as adults, those 'superhuman' memory skills. And the 'seeing numbers' thing that Tammet does is actually what everyone in memory contests does - 'normal' people can learn to engage visual and spatial brain areas to boost abstract memory to astonishing levels. And before the invention of the printing press, these skills were routinely taught in universities, so people could memorize rare books. The mental math tricks are similar, you can get really good at mental math to where it looks superhuman. And again, it used to be more common. But we have calculators now, so no one bothers.
So you were right, Joe - we can all be superhumans. Its teachable.
And i didn't even mention Wim Hof.
