Josh-you cite “Isabella Moody” on X for the poll where Americans believe Judaism to be more dangerous than Islam. I cannot find this source. Can you please post the source? It’s a pretty inflammatory statistic so it would be good to have access to the poll.

That’s right, she did a Twitter poll with over 80,000 responses.

A well-argued essay, Josh. Yasher koach!

As the comedian Modi Rosenfeld joked, why do we send antisemites to Holocaust museums when we want to convince them of the errors of their ways? Isn’t that exactly what antisemites want to see?

Excellent, albeit gloomy. Do you think the ideas of Enlightenment *can* go further? Or will humans always be more driven by emotion rather than fact?

Maybe AI will make us more driven by fact, although today there are many versions of fact and whoever controls the AI will therefore determine them.

Excellent critique of today's far left populism and its propensity towards barbaric, destructive hatred of whomever they label as successful.

The far right is not excluded from populism either!
