I love him, didn't know him before either. "This is a classic case of heuristics — mental shortcuts that simplify problems to help us avoid cognitive overload, so we can quickly reach conclusions to complex concepts"- you nailed it. That's the crux of it.
Oddly enough, I just listened to his episode on Josh Szeps’ podcast today re: his book “The War on the West.” I found him very intelligent and interesting. Big picture thinker who actually considers context, and he has moral clarity and the courage to speak it. These are all very refreshing qualities b/c, unfortunately, he’s a dinosaur. Some ppl disregard him as conservative but he doesn’t appear to be interested in taking sides.
Since October 7, Murray has become one of my favorite journalists, not only for his even-handed and empirical approach to covering the war, but also for his scalding one liners in debate. His bluntness is refreshing in a world of obfuscation. As for rooting for the underdog, which is definitely a phenomenon here, we should leave that to NY Mets fans.

I’m from the UK. I am an avid admirer of Murray. He speaks with a common sense attitude. He certainly doesn’t suffer fools gladly!
