Journalist James Pogue on Political Principles and Cultivating Virtue | We All Must Go Into The Wilderness

About this episode

<p>Ryan reads today’s daily meditation and talks to journalist James Pogue about his <a href='https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/author-james-pogue-on-the-new-right'>recent piece on the new right in Vanity Fair</a>, how the modern political climate is void of solid principles, why cultivating virtue is so important, and more.</p><p>I came across his recent piece in Vanity Fair on the New Right, where he dives inside the new strain of reactionary, retro-patriarchal conservative politics embodied by those like Tucker Carlson and J.D. Vance. It touched on a lot of things I have been thinking about lately, so I wanted to have him on to discuss this particular topic because it feels timely and important.</p><p>James Pogue is a journalist and essayist who has written for Harper’s, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Granta, the New Republic, and Vice, among many others. He is a recipient of support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and was once called a “brilliant young Southern writer” by the Oxford American. He lives in LA, where I help run a native plant nursery. My first book is called Chosen Country: A Rebellion in the West, a first-person account of conflict over public lands in the American west. </p><p><a href='http://helloned.com/STOIC'>NED Products</a> will help you perform better, sharpen your mind and get consistent, quality sleep.
