“I have historically been a big fan of this podcast. While I didn’t always agree with Prof. Epstein on every topic, I found his arguments to be well reasoned and substantive enough to spark real debate and insight.
Sadly, the quality of his analysis has dropped significantly over the last several years and now seems to be nakedly partisan. He openly praises conservative politicians for authoritarian policy and chastises liberal politicians for squarely libertarian actions. He talks down policies that he should support given his self-applied label of ‘libertarian’ - individual liberties, voting rights, free association - and can’t bring himself to say even a positive thing about a single democratic politician.
It really is a shame - while Epstein always leaned more conservative, he used to be a breath of fresh air among conservative voices. Now, he is just another partisan hack spouting the party line. I miss his old rhetoric and wish he would turn his critical eye inward to his own biases.”
