All the Lonely People

Episode 267
March 29, 2026

-A tour of this week’s news brings a bumper crop of female schooteachers accused of rape and sexual abuse of their boy students. Is this new, or has it alway been going on?

-”We need affordable daycare” has become a normal-sounding phrase that covers over how abnormal it is to farm our children out to strangers in the tender years simply so that mothers can feel “accomplished.”

-Millions of people are lonely in a way people have never been lonely before. Cut off from social respectability and family for being connected to reality is a large scale problem.
