You Are Insufficiently Grateful for Modernity | Interview: Chelsea Follett
No one ever accused Jonah Goldberg of nostalgic longing for the Middle Ages. Accordingly, he’s grown tired of the tradbros and hippies who claim that the premodern world was just better. In that vein, he welcomes the Cato Institute’s Chelsea Follett, author of The Grim Old Days. Listen in as Chelsea and Jonah discuss the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution, life expectancy, working hours, grandparents, sanitation, animal welfare, health and wellness, childhood, environmentalism, smartphones, Rousseau’s “noble savage,” witches, and romanticization of the past.

Of Friends and Enemies | Ruminant
Just days away from election week (or, as Jonah Goldberg likes to call it, “Hell”), we at The Remnant thought it wise to explore some more eggheady topics.

A Leader Doth Not a Statesman Make | Interview: Steven B. Smith
We here at The Remnant tend to evaluate statesmen according to the Lincoln-Wilson spectrum: The good ones are more like Abraham Lincoln, and the bad ones are more like Woodrow Wilson. But because Jonah Goldberg loves a good argument, we’ve invited friend-of-the-show Professor Steven Smith of Yale University to throw a few wrenches in our statesmanship formula. Listen in as Steven and Jonah discuss the difference between statesmanship and leadership, national education, stateless statesmen, crisis, noble ambition, Charles de Gaulle, Claremonsters, illiberalism, the boringness of leftist ideology, and demagoguery. Show Notes: —Steven Smith: On Statesmanship —Previous Smith Remnant —Laura Field: Furious Minds —Laura Field Remnant The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
