Once again on Skype, the boys review two beers: Pastryarchy and a Scottish Wee heavy, then discuss human nature.
Is there a fundamental human nature, or is it totally malleable?
This is a key difference between the left and the right. The right takes humanity as a given, and tries to create a structure that accommodates man as he is. The left has a vision for a better society and tries to tweak man to fit in.
Conservatives are willing to tolerate equality, so long as it doesn't get in the way of freedom, but liberals are willing to tolerate freedom so long as it doesn't get in the way of equality.
You can't ever enforce equality up to the highest-performing person. The only way to have equality is to bring the top down.
