A well-written and moving article, Salome! The three interviews contained in it are fascinating and well-worth listening too! Zander Keig, Trish Wood and Peter Boghossian are real gems of human beings and brilliant thinkers and intellectuals! I largely agree with what you wrote here. I applaud you for your principled stand on behalf of individualism and the Black Sheep mindset! I join you in fighting to combat the illiberalism on the left and the right. I too strongly believe in liberal democracy, free-market capitalism, pluralism, multiculturalism, individual rights, English Common Law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness, and free thinking. You certainly aren't the last individualist idealist left. I also believe in individualism and will always argue for its virtues! Community over collectivism! Identity politics is poisonous for our society and has done immeasurable harm to it, same with the rest of the western world. It doesn't matter if its white supremacy, Neo-Nazism, Neo-Confederate ideology, black separatism, third and fourth-wave feminism, Revisionist Zionism, or Islamism. I will stand with you, Jake and my fellow Black Sheep in fighting it! I pray we will be victorious! At the same time, I will continue to be a proud Christian and liberal Zionist who will always support Israel. I will continue to support the nation state of the Jewish people while also fighting for equality and fair treatment for women, Arabs, Mizrahi Jews, Ethiopian Jews, immigrants, foreign workers, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled people in Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state and Palestinian liberation.

Very appreciated Noah! Really glad you enjoyed those interviews too. And lovely to hear your similar shared values 🙏
So much of this could be presented as aphorisms - beautiful, important, aphorisms.
'If I’m the last individualist idealist left, it would be my honor.'
Yeah, me too. And I am ready to die on that hill.
Thank you Keith! That's so kind. And so glad to have you on that hill with me!!
