      @@JohnAndersonConversations Hi, Kristian. I'm American ; I live in Florida. I've been watching John's 'conversations' for probably two - three years. I even watch when I don't know who the guest is because in his conversations, John brings out important information whether for Australians or for the world at large. He allows his guests the time to answer questions fully, he never bullies or over-rides his guests but listens - imagine that! he listens - and tries to balance what the guest has to say with what is going on in the world and as he himself sees things. It is exactly what a conversation should be - an exchange of ideas. I have never seen him unprepared and whatever may be going on in the production side of the conversations, he never seems rushed but ready to give his guest the fullness of his attention. Especially today, it's uplifting to see a host treat his guests so well, whether they agree in principle or not. I just think he's the best there is.

    I have worked as a secondary art teacher in the United States for the past 18 years and I have become painfully aware that our students have VERY limited knowledge of WORLD history and a limited understanding of American history as it relates to the rest of the world. I try to provide my students with lessons in history as it pertains and connects with artistic movements and scientific or technological developments, but it is like starting with the ABCs in the process of learning to read. It is often very frustrating.

Look up some of the archival footage videos of street interviews with Australians in the 1960s, and you'll see how the accent has evolved over time. I was born in 2000 in Adelaide, SA, and I grew up here.

    A note to Mr Anderson: Finding this channel was a real surprise for me, you were one of the better ministers in the John Howard government. Your evolution from the political cesspits of the early 2000s to the values and ideas expoused in this channel is a pleasant surprise which, I must say, was an unexpected find in an ex politician.
    Many of the problems discussed in this video have been visible for years. Some questions beg asking (to which I don't expect an answer): were you aware of the gallopping cancer of cultural Marxism while you were in government? Why didn't the Howard "conservatives" do something then? For example, a funding inquiry into the ABC?

    It's a relief to see other intellectuals (such as Mr. Murray) speaking sensibly about the mandatory craziness which has swept Western culture in the new century. "Wokeness" is a retrograde religion which has poisoned every sector of life it's touched. And Mr. Murray is 100% correct to identify the fact "wokeness" has exactly the same totalitarian flavor manifested by religious zealotry in eras past. Hopefully more and more grown-ups are willing to show some spine and endure the mobs. We have to show our children a better path.
