When Mike Judge released *Idiocracy* in 2006, its premise was absurd enough to be funny: an average man wakes up in a future where intellectual standards have collapsed so dramatically that he becomes the smartest person around. Two decades later, the uncomfortable question is no longer whether such a future is imaginable. It's whether we've mistaken the warning signs for entertainment. In the latest Felix Rex video, I examine the forces that may be pushing modern America in precisely the wrong direction—and why the answer is more disturbing than a comedy about stupid people.
Out soon, and as always, thanks so much for sticking with me. It is very much appreciated and I hope your weekend goes well.
Be well.

Fellas, is it RACIST to LIKE BUTTS?
It would seem that there are those within the current cultural zeitgeist the believe that any man that is non-African American and who is an aficionado of the derrière is not only a cultural appropriationist but in blunt language a racist.
But is it true that only African Americans can appreciate a woman's posterior? Only they have that right and for anyone else to do so exposes their racism
Either way, we now live in a world where cultural commentators can say with a straight face which group of people and their gaze can claim ownership over a females body part and it not be offensive depending on who is saying it and who they are attributing it to.
In other words, we are living in a state of tautological intellectual constipation.

The Impossible Alliance
Political alliances are often explained through shared values, common interests, or a vision of the future. But what happens when none of those explanations seems entirely sufficient? Across contemporary Western politics, movements with very different beliefs have increasingly found themselves rallying around the same international cause.
Their differences are not trivial, and the question of what connects them deserves more than a superficial answer.
In my latest video, I explore this strange convergence and ask what it reveals about the direction of modern political life.

Democracy Believers Were Wrong
The costs of a changing society are not always captured by conventional economic measures. Consider the time spent verifying agreements, the additional precautions people take, or the growing importance of personal networks when confidence in impersonal institutions declines. Each may seem insignificant in isolation. Together, they can affect how people work, cooperate, and plan for the future.
My new video explores the hidden importance of social trust and why its deterioration can change the experience of everyday life.
