In my humble opinion, these are two of the greatest thinkers in our era, enjoy.

“Academic and journalistic sources have variously described Murray's ideology and political views as conservative, neoconservative, far-right, alt-right and Islamophobic. Murray is a regular critic of immigration and Islam. British journalist and broadcaster Peter Oborne described Douglas Murray as an anti-Muslim polemicist Murray has argued that there is an effort by the left to destroy Western culture, and has argued that criticisms of Western leaders and philosophers are motivated by attempts to hurt the west.
Murray has been accused of putting a socially acceptable face on fringe ideologies. In 2012, Arun Kundnani wrote in an article for Security and Human Rights that the "counterjihadist" ideology expressed by Murray and other conservative intellectuals was "through reworking far-right ideology and appropriating official discourse... able to evade categorisation as a source of far-right violence". British writer Nafeez Ahmed argued in Middle East Eye that Murray's support for free speech in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting and the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks was "really just a ploy for far-right entryism". In 2019, an article in Social Policy Review described Murray's views as a kind of "mainstreamist" ideology that defies easy categorization as extremist while remaining "entangled with the far right".
Murray has been described as promoting far-right conspiracy theories, including the Great Replacement theory, the Eurabia conspiracy theory and the cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.
Philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy has said of Murray, "Whether one agrees with him or not" he is "one of the most important public intellectuals today" Writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali and columnist Sohrab Ahmari have praised Murray's work and writing on Islam in Europe.
Columnist Bari Weiss places Murray within the intellectual dark web, a loosely affiliated group of commentators including Bret Weinstein, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, and Sam Harris. Murray has rejected his placement within this group.”

And would that include you?
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

But Wikipedia is your source?
Grow the fuck up, Conor.
Maybe you could listen to any of the content I linked before going to Wikipedia to find a reason not to. WTF.
The sources are from known and reputable publications, which provide an overview of how Mr. Murray is perceived.
I far more trust what Wikipedia provides versus your take of the guy.
Yeah, sure, but is it?
The truth shall set you free, all you have to do is listen.
I find them provocatively interesting, but they lack the wisdom of these other two.
Lex Fridman and Chris Williamson are great hosts, Tim Ferris also has his moments.
