Book Review: When Harry Became Sally, by Ryan T. Anderson
It’s the book that was quietly banned by Amazon. It challenges the powerful orthodoxy around transgenderism. It claims to show the science and the rationality that undermines the ideology that is reshaping our world. It’s When Harry Became Sally, by Ryan T. Anderson. Let’s have a look.
CORRECTION: At the end I obviously mean to refer to Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage" not "Irreversible Harm"

The Boris Johnson government grapples with the consequences of its apparent incompetence in the fall-out over sleaze. The Biden administration grapples with the consequences of Democrats political radicalism in the wake of this week’s elections. And the COP26 conference actually surprises all of us by achieving more – on paper at least – than we expected.

In this discussion update video, I talk about the snarky commentary on both sides over the climate science slides that were shown to Boris Johnson to persuade him that climate change is a thing, and look at the slides themselves. We look at the outrage from some at the emergence of the net zero sceptical group amongst the Conservative Party. Also, the inevitable denouement of the Peng Shuai saga as it plays to its conclusion.

A vicious vaccine war breaks out as the EU threatens to divert doses from the UK, Joe Biden launches a barrage of first week measures on climate change and much else besides. And we note how the pandemic has changed the world in ways that will echo for decades.

Putin has a bad week in the war, and not a great time with China’s Xi Jinping who has ‘concerns’ about Ukraine. Sweden sees an election upheaval as concern about gun crime and immigration creates a populist backlash. And the second largest cryptocurrency ethereum slashes its massive energy use at a stroke, but will others follow? And in this week’s short thought, how our values are changing and we didn’t much notice.

Many modern protest movements claim inspiration from the great movements of the past - specifically those led by Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. But they consistently fail to learn the lessons of those historical successes.
Gandhi was successful in bringing forward the date for the British quitting India for a number of reasons - principally because he successfully executed an extremely smart strategy that fitted the change he was aiming to bring about.
In very general terms, this video describes what I see to be the 12 features of his approach that helped make him successful, and the equivalents for which are often completely missing from modern protest movements ensuring that they largely fail.
If you decide to learn more about Gandhi's life and work, I recommend the following:
The Life of Mahatma Gandhi, Louis Fischer https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Mahatma-Gandhi-Louis-Fischer/dp/1784700401/ (Fischer gives a great overview of Gandhi's life - he's very much a fan, so don't expect an objective appraisal)
Gandhi, the Movie - Very much based on Louis Fischer's take on the man. Marvel on the brilliant performance of Ben Kingsley in this role (and reflect maybe on the fact that it would be almost impossible for him to take that role in the modern era)
Gandhi's Autobiography: The Story of my Experiments with the Truth https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autobiography-Story-My-Experiments-Truth/dp/0141186860/ Classic text to understand the great man's thinking

It’s retro news week, apparently. A massive leak of whatsapp text messages from the heart of government shows the unedifying reality of the UK’s response to Covid. The US energy department declares that it now believes a lab leak is the most likely cause of the Covid-19 pandemic. And, in this week’s short thought – do we believe in science or in magical thinking? I wish you’d make your mind up.

Recently, climate change critic Tony Heller released a new video which he promises will be the first of a series on why climate science is broken.
And it’s actually pretty interesting. And he raises an important issue, I thought it would be interesting to explore on the relationship between climate science and politics. It covers James Hansen's 1988 testimony to Congress, the actions of Al Gore to remove scientists who didn't fit the administration's views, and more.
