I watched this movie 3-4 times and even when reading this, I’m still spaced out.
Ben Stein just has a voice that makes me tune him out.
Such a great voice for comedy. Shame he’s anti-abortion, pretty racist, pro-Regan and Trump, weirdly against evolution… So many awful perspectives.
You can see his point. Look where it got us, we should have stayed in the sea.
Or we should’ve listened to what native americans were trying to tell us for centuries.
Yeah, can we vote for some intelligent design please. The old regime isn’t working out.
What’s interesting is that this boring speech isn’t just an actor reading something boring. Stein is a second-generation economist. He has a BA in economics from Columbia University. His father had a PhD in economics and chaired the Council of Economic Advisors under Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
His father was apparently well respected by both parties, but the son has gone full MAGA, which is unfortunate.
