Ramblings and Gibberish

Ramblings on the hevel of life, and the undeniable logic of what it means to be a "good person".

Had a great conversation with Peter from The Divergence Room podcast about leadership, America, acting and faith!

"America has already fallen" and "Christian Nationalist" are claims that can be misunderstood. Here's an attempt at explaining my intention, regardless of how it is perceived.

Three men trying to have the kind of argument people usually avoid: direct, uncomfortable, personal, and sometimes messy, but still trying to stay in the room.

Can't work vs. Won't work; Oppression narratives; Trans people and mental illness; Redistricting; The Constitution, DEI and Equity vs. Equality

Police bodycams, rights, manners, law, authority, civic submission, bad cops, spoiled entitlement, public safety, HR culture, progressive politics, the greater good, capitalism, justice, democracy, republican government, and the long-term fragility of America.

I'm aware that I can come off as an asshole, and maybe I am. But there's no malice in my heart. I want to use mutual respect, universal equality, and objective reality to pursue the truth with those who disagree with me. I want to be challenged, until we arrive at agreement on what's true- so that we can move on to the next challenge. The emotional barriers of "tone-policing" won't even slow me down. But it's all about love, baby.

Brooks, Steve and Matt have some hard conversations.
