Kontrarian Korner #113 - Kevin Dolan

Yesterday I had Kevin Dolan on the podcast for the first time. He is the founder of the EXIT Group (which he founded after getting doxxed), and has built an impressive network of guys across the United States. We talked about different problems facing the US, the side effects of the Civil Rights Act, the impacts of AI and the changing online environment, and the gender divide between men and women. You can find Kevin at EXIT Group, as well as on Twitter and on the EXIT Substack. Podcast Summary* How EXIT Group got started, and what they are focused on now. * The impacts of the Civil Rights Act and how it has transformed cities and suburbs and created malinvestment. * How Bukele in El Salvador provides an example of how some of these problems can be solved.* Why Trump is not the Caesar figure that some have been looking for.* The divide between men and women, what it means for society, and some ideas on how to fix it.* AI, offshoring, and the disappearance of adult day care jobs. * How the regulatory environment has strangled growth of the atoms economy and incentivized growth in the bits economy. * How common private property has become illegal in America and the incentives that led to this outcome. * The enshittification of the internet and social media. * Book Recommendation: Out Of The Mountains by David Kilcullen.
