"The problem on the right is...once the hierarchy is established, those who dominate the top have every right to overstate the moral virtue of the hierarchy because it privilidges them in particular. On the left, the problem is is that it's not easy to distinguish between care for the dispossessed and hatred for those who occupy positions of well, you could say authority."

"Something that's really important to do when you read history is that...It's easy to cast yourself as a victim, it's easy to cast yourself as the person who would have been heroic in the circumstance, but it's also unbelievably useful to understand that, there's a good chance had you been in those situations that you wouldn't have been on the side of the good guys. It's really a terrible realization, but it's necessary realization."

"I don't think that equality of opportunity is a problem. I think that's a great thing and that anybody with any sense champions equality of opportunity. Even if your purely selfish and purely self-centered, you would want to set up an economy where everyone who had ability could be maximally exploited by everyone else, because then we can all benefit from each other's talents. So equality of opportunity is an absolutely useful fundamental principle."
