Dr. Keith Rose discusses the ancient Greek term *amathia*—willful ignorance where intelligent people actively choose not to learn despite capacity.

How does this word connect to current crises: politicians urging troops to defy orders, abortion debates, gender surgeries for minors, and pandemic-era censorship.

Drawing on Socrates (who saw *amathia* as the root of evil) and the Bible, Dr. Rose argues modern leaders and citizens exhibit "moral love affairs with darkness," preferring self-justified ignorance over truth. This *amathia*—a distortion of reason by ideology and fear—has led to societal collapse. The solution, according to Rose is personal redemption: confessing sins, accepting Christ and baptism. Only by turning away from self-deception and embracing God's righteousness can the nation be restored.
