  • Ep 59 Not Teaching Kids Religion with Boris Reitman

    Transcript here.

    Fact check here.

    Boris Reitman is a software engineer, encryption technologist, and political thinker. He is the founder of Entelecheia Inc., a company specializing in encryption technology, and the creator of Crosspass, an end-to-end encrypted messaging system.

    Reitman founded Anthemism, the political philosophy and initiative inspired by Ayn Rand’s Objectivism, particularly Anthem. Anthemism holds that freedom cannot be achieved by reforming states that are structurally hostile to individual rights, but only by creating a new sovereign country explicitly founded on reason, individual rights, and laissez-faire capitalism. Where encryption helps individuals defend their freedom within hostile systems, Anthemism addresses the problem at its root by proposing a political order in which rights are inherent and non-negotiable.

    Beyond his technical and philosophical work, Reitman is also a community leader: he is the founder and president of a Toastmasters club, fostering leadership, public speaking, and civic engagement.

    ⁠Jimbo's Teaching Religions to Kids Ideas⁠

    Definitions

    Relativism: Relativism is the view that what counts as true or right depends on a person’s or group’s standpoint—such as culture, upbringing, or historical context—rather than on a single universal standard.

    Pluralism: Pluralism is the idea that a society can contain multiple, differing belief systems or authorities and still function without requiring everyone to share one worldview.

    Indoctrinate: To indoctrinate is to teach beliefs in a way that discourages questioning and aims at acceptance rather than evaluation.
