Dan 11:32

In today's episode, we consider last week's "Day of Truth and Reconciliation," what this day really means, the ideology upon which it is based, and what that means for the way in which we participate in it. In this episode, we'll consider Tom Flanagan's article, "Did Indian Residential Schools Cause Intergenerational Trauma," which can be found here: https://www.dorchesterreview.ca/blogs/news/did-indian-residential-schools-cause-intergenerational-trauma

On Friday, September 16th, I gave a presentation at the inaugural Canadian Theopolitans conference (www.canadiantheopolitans.ca). The presentation was based on a chapter in my forthcoming book entitled "Creating Superman," and explores the history and philosophy of transhumanism, and the importance of the transhumanist ideology on the world stage today. In this week's episode, I'm sharing that presentation here on the podcast. It covers some material that I've already covered in previous episodes, but puts all of that information in one (relatively) concise package. What is transhumanism, why should we care, and how should we as Christians respond to the danger of transhumanism?

People have four great hopes: a second innocence after long immersion in a broken world, a justice that is clean and without ambiguity, a security that cannot be undermined, and a world in which there are no more difficult labours. In this episode, we will consider the ways in which Identity Politics attempts to provide shortcuts to the realization of these hopes, with reference to Joshua Mitchell's book American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of our Time. 

In this episode we conclude our look at Mattias Desmet's book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, drawing some conclusions and offering an evaluation of Desmet's conclusions. 

This week I read a letter that was published on the Aquila Report, and talk about the way in which identity politics twists the Christian concepts of transgression, innocence, and the scapegoat for its own purposes. 

In this episode I go through chapters seven and eight of Mattias Desmet's 2022 book The Psychology of Totalitarianism. In this week's episode we'll look at "The Leader and the Masses," and "Conspiracy and Ideology."

This week we'll continue our journey through Mattias Desmet's The Psychology of Totalitarianism, and work our way through the fifth and sixth chapters - "The Desire for a Master," and "The Rise of the Masses."

This week we'll look at the third and fourth chapters of Mattias Desmet's 2022 book The Psychology of Totalitarianism. In these chapters, Desmet discusses the goals of the mechanistic ideology, and the method that adherents of this ideology uses to gather knowledge. This episode follows up on last week's episode, which discusses the introduction and first two chapters of the book, so if you haven't already listened to that episode, I recommend that you start there!

This week I begin a detailed look at Mattias Desmet's 2022 book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, in which he explains the nature of "mass formation" and its results. In this episode we'll go through the introduction and the first two chapters of the book, in which Desmet begins to discuss the issue of Science and its Psychological Effects. 

This week's episode is a preview of my forthcoming book, How In The World Did We Get Here? Today I read Chapter 4, "Sexual Revolutions," which explores the Twentieth Century sexual revolutions which have shaped our prevailing culture's views on sexuality, marriage, family, and the relationship between the sexes.
