On why Monarchy is the only way back to sanity, how there are only two real political options: monarchy or oligarchy. A Republic is when oligarch's murder the king and take power for themselves (a rebellion against patriarchy), often under the guise of "liberty" or "equality" for the people but it's just a different group capturing the power and hiding in the background.

His 2h lecture on Dostoyevsky was helpful in understanding what Dostoyevsky was getting at, why the main character in "The Idiot" represented the purer world before modern industrialization turned society into forgetting wider family bonds (individualization) and treating money as the thing that people revolved around and chased for status. The main character shames everyone just by his very presence.

And why all of this created mental illness in the modern world. The fast-paced life, constant work to try and keep up with buying more consumer goods and increase status, with the constant fear that it could all be wiped away:

Trump is restoring the monarchy that the office of president was meant to be.

We were meant to have presidents serve for life, as long as they kept getting reelected. We only limited them to 2 terms in deference to Washington.

Presidents were meant to have ALL executive power. ALL OF IT!
