If you are not familiar with Konstantin Kisin make it a goal to do that. This Russian-British comedian, podcaster, writer, and social commentator (he’s politically non-binary) is brilliant, in my opinion, at not just on subject matter but delivery.
He’s smart and funny. Thoughtful and sarcastic. He understands the world and can articulate its problems in contrast to the self-created mental-health crisis of modernity referred to as wokeness.
Yesterday I shared a speech by Jordan Peterson speaking at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. That was brilliant and worth your time if you missed it. Today, along the same vein – as it is the same conference – Kisin has a much shorter speech but one that is as critical to understanding the problems and likley solutions to the world we are in and the direction it has taken.
Not so much the problem but a means by which we work toward solutions and where Peterson unraveled the foundational challenge of how individualism properly developed build the best communities, Kisin confronts the question of individual direction for the positive benefit of civilization, with a good bit of snarky humor.
Like, “Say what you want about Hamas supporters. At least they know what a woman is.”
He’s got wife jokes, Greta jokes, makes fun of Americans and, Brits, and his family while delving deeply into the question of the future of civilization and offering his thoughts about the problem and the solution.
Just under thirteen minutes and IMO worth every second.
