It was a very good presentation. There is no substitute for reading the book, of course! Still, Bennett live is very good. In particular, the Brits need to hear more of his type of thing. They live in amental box over there. They need to start thinking of aternatives to their blase nihilism. They need to have some pride in their history and believe in their own future again.

“Furthermore, a relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is always going to be severely unequal.”

As you pointed out, such a relationship will be unequal for everyone else as well.

“My own feeling is that America and Americans today are very similar to what Britain and the British were in the nineteenth century, displaying the same baffling combination of religiosity and emphasis on material well-being and development.”

That is a pretty good observation. I’m waiting for someone to suggest that the Global War on Terror is our own White Man’s Burden.
