Neat quote saw when reading. Admitting you’re wrong in a genuine way is something you see rarely these days.

“In a 2024 interview, he said he renounced his libertarianism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic after a libertarian group asked him to speak at an anti-mask rally. “The fact they sent me this email is something I need to be very ashamed of, and I need to change” adding “Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, ‘It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,’ and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate.”[56]”

    Very similar to my journey though no one asked me to speak anywhere and I had the privilege of being able to change my mind entirely out of the public eye.

    Much respect for this.

      It takes a lot of strength to change what was probably a core part of your identity - I respect your change.
