Description

Snowbound in the depths of Pennsylvania, Jonah invites the inimitable Yuval Levin back to the Remnant for a philosophical yet accessible conversation on the responsibilities we face as members of a free society.

And is the internet damaging democracy?Show Notes:- Yuval’s page at AEI- A Time to Build, still available from all good booksellers- Yuval: “The Constitution and National Unity”- Yuval’s ideas for repairing democracy- Mark Leibovich’s This Town- “You are all individuals”- Robert Nisbet’s The Quest for Community- Arnold Kling: “How the Internet Turned Bad”- Yuval: “Politics After the Internet”- Megan McArdle: “It’s time for major institutions to make their employees get off of Twitter”

In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg, the founder and editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, syndicated columnist, best-selling author, and AEI/NRI Fellow enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day and of all-time. Is Western Civilization doomed? Is nationalism the wave of the future? Is the Pope Catholic? Will they ever find a new place to put cheese on a pizza? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Who is hotter: Ginger or Mary-Ann? Was Plato really endorsing the Republic as the ideal state? Mixing history, pop culture, rank-punditry, political philosophy, and, at times, shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conversations we wish they had on cable-TV shout shows. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful.
