“The American Revolution was about the idea that for better or worse, we the people settle our differences.
What would they say today? On climate change or racial injustice.
Through free speech and open debate in the public square where every citizen’s voice and vote counts equally.
In old world Europe, they were skeptical of that vision. They said, ‘No. No. No. The people can’t be trusted. How could they? They would get it wrong. We the elites have to make that decision.’
In the back of palace halls in old world England, church leaders, labor leaders, business leaders, deciding what was right as the ‘enlightened’ for the rest of society at large.
We fought a revolution to reject that vision.
On this side of the Atlantic - on this side of 1776 - we don’t do it that way.
Well that old world monster rears its ugly head ever so often as it does today to once again say that we the people can’t be trusted - that it has to be settled in the back of palace halls.
Be that a three-lettered government bureaucratic office in Washington DC, or be that a palace hall in a corner office of BlackRock’s building on Park Avenue in Manhattan.
That’s what the ESG movement is really about, and I think that’s why we live in a 1776 moment today.
Like Thomas Jefferson, or John Jay, its a special time to be alive actually.
To be able to ask the questions of
‘Do we trust ourselves as the citizens?’
‘Do we actually expect the government to tell us the truth instead of serving us a noble lie?’
That’s really what the modern divide in this country is about.”
