Glenn Loury on Lex Fridman

I just listened to Glenn on Lex.

A meaningful revelation I had (this first part is not part of the revelation): America is often criticized as being built on slavery, but it is not given credit for being the nation that fought and died to set slaves free (credit to Britain as well) in a world that still maintained a slave system.

My revelation: In the era of identity politics, people use the term “African American” to group all black Americans together under the umbrella of the history of slavery.

But above, and beyond being the country that fought to free the slaves, there are generations of black/African Americans who voluntarily immigrated to America for a better life, for the freedom, prosperity and better life that America represented, and hopefully will continue to represent.

It is a marathon of a podcast. If you only have six minutes, listen to the portion at 2 hrs 39 minutes to 2 hrs 45 minutes.

At a show with kid and her friends

We’re at a small show in Florida. Daughter and her friends wanted to go. I get to drive and attend the show. Small venue, reminds me of a place called Cafe Campus in Montreal I used to go to for blues shows.

It really seems that everyone in America is taller than me. 😂

This is actually wild…

Remember that story of the guy who unleashed two smoke bombs at the Shaun Feucht religious concert in Montreal? In the church…

Alexa Lavoie of rebel news actually found the alleged perpetrator.

He works for the federal government in national defense! And he has strong alleged antifa ties.

Watch the full report. Put this on absolute blast!

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, October 1, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day 

Venezia. The city of seduction and romance, of masked balls and cinematic backdrops, where quiet back-alley restaurants and boutique shops await for you to uncover and discover, as the magic of this modern-day Atlantis invites at every turn. Arrive at the airport to an awaiting long wooden boat across the water to the city dancing with the sea, and dance amidst the history and beauty of ancient Cathedrals, in handmade shoes from the world’s greatest shoemakers. My favorite city to visit.  

B. Wisdom of the Day

“War does not determine who is right – only who is left.” Bertrand Russell.

C. Cultural Recommendation

Bitter Fruit: history of American interventions in creating the Banana Republics of our southern neighbors. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102729.Bitter_Fruit?
