Adopt Responsibility

A reflection on episode 1 of the series After Socrates by John Vervaeke

A philosophical conversation with a friend

Curt Jaimungal has a deep, driving impulse for knowledge. What is behind that impulse? His influence is currently growing exponentially as he pursues knowledge of reality. He is the host of "Theories of Everything".

This has been our most difficult as well as our deepest conversation to date. In this episode we outline how we view the deepest realms of physical and spiritual reality. We discuss the logos at the core of our faith, the human interaction between the finite and the infinite, and the religious primacy of the physical events in scripture occurring in the world.

Founder of Pure Heart Ministries International and itinerant inner healing minister Tom Cole joins Caleb to share his experience of personal transformation and to help define true masculinity. There are many definitions and associated concepts, but what does being a man really boil down to?

Tom also talks about his experience of having COVID-19 and the insane politicization of this virus.

Karl Landis (Caleb's dad) joins AR to discuss how the Christian church should approach politics, and the history of this relationship. The trials of 2020 have revealed a lack of maturity in many people's perspective about what Christians engagement with our government should look like, and this conversation develops a possible path toward better understanding. Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the presidential election, and the overall legitimacy of America's founding ideals are all in the spotlight. Now is the time to grow in determinedness to make sure our future is bright.

In this episode, co-hosts Caleb Landis and Matthew Widen talk about Critical Theory, the hoax that exposed the leftist bias in the education system, Uyghur internment camps, The U.S.'s ridiculous military spending, and how Canada's bill C-16 puts free speech in serious danger.

This episode is an interview with Jordan Taylor, hosted by Matthew Widen. Jordan is the creator of the YouTube channel 'Across The Jordan'. He and Matthew explore the way that faith leads us to behave and engage in various areas of society. They also get into how Christians should approach politics, how to avoid ideological possession, and how social media distorts reality.

In this episode we distinguish individual sovereignty from group identity. We discuss the problem of the inevitability of human hierarchies, the lie that this problem is our fault, and the consequences of believing that lie. In light of individual sovereignty, we also finish with a discussion about proper legislation around economics and abortion.

This episode begins with us making some headway on the issue of big tech censorship, and then we discuss true masculinity and the instinct for admiration amongst men. We take some time to define what traits we find most admirable in the men in our lives and the men of the past.
