we would be remiss if we did not talk about the university of austin. if you follow this, the media, particularly higher education media, there was a great deal of criticism. but the response from students, faculty, and donors -- of course, there was a warm reception. talk about the promise and perils of the university. how do you respond to those who say is it just going to be ideological in a different direction, you know? >> it will be a grave error to create an institution in response to the political and ideological asymmetry we see in higher education today, to create an institution that is simply weighted at the other end. the problem with higher education today is it sort of narrowness of perspective. so to try to create an institution that is conservative or right-wing, or however you want to characterize it -- it is not a solution. it is an accelerant to the problems we have today. truly, an institution that is truly dedicated to higher things is an institution that has to be as open as possible to all ideas. and to be committed to the fearless

of carnegie's generation. they funded no great universities, something we talked about sometime before we came up with the idea of the university of austin. they give money to foundations, increasingly have been captured by a woke elite. and in that sense, i think, the problem of woke capitalism will ultimately turn out to be self liquidating. let me offer some brief reflections. i think there are six reasons why woke capitalism will collapse of its own contradiction. i'm going to sound a little like marx and engels myself. we already touched on one. green economics is self-defeating because green inflation, raising the cost of carbon and energy, will produce backlash. secondly, publicly is not sold on the f or the g either. the public isn't even sold on affirmative action, much less critical race theory or gender fluid identities. third is an investment strategy -- it is, in fact, highly likely to fail. esg under before -- underperformed the s&p 500 by 2.8%. i could give further examples if time permitted. let me conclude with a few simple questions. how woke is elon musk, currently the world's most prominent capitalist, who certainly h
