Christina Hoff Sommers recently attempted to give a lecture at Lewis & Clarke Law School regarding the closed-mindedness of feminists, and (as if to prove her point) a bunch of frumpy, angry, soy-enriched SJWs stormed the classroom and shouted her down. James and Independent Man (Scott Crowe) give their blow-by-blow analysis of the unfolding spectacle.

Sven gives a brief history of his childhood escape from Eastern Germany in the late 1980s as his family left the soviet nation to seek a life of freedom and peace in Australia. Sven and James also discuss their biggest "red pill" moments in life - the discoveries that changed their view of the world forever.

Sven met one of his heroes this week, Wim Hof, the "crazy old dutch guy" who subjects himself to extreme environmental conditions including Mt Everest in his shorts, but has mastered his own autonomic functions through breathing and focus techniques, and believes we can all do it!

James & Sven continue their ongoing discussion of religion, God, Jesus, the spiritual realm, psychedelics, and rational faith. A viewer asked the question "How can a good and loving God have created the king of evil, Satan?". James outlines a theological hypothesis involving eastern symbolism and a different way to conceptualise of God the Father, and Jesus Christ's role in our spiritual lives. Healthy exegesis, or heresy? Comment your thoughts below!

In the wake of the Patrick Brown sexual misconduct allegations and his resignation from the position of Party Leader of the PC Party of Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau answered questions in a press conference in which he first implicitly stated that the allegations are true, then EXPLICITLY stated that it the policy of his government to believe the allegations of anyone who comes forward claiming sexual assault, even before a fair hearing has occurred or the judicial process has reached an objective verdict.

This is an unashamed demonstration of the subjective values of the left, and particularly of the social-justice ilk and their abandonment of one of the great pillars of Western Democracy that has made our civilisation the freest ever to bloom on Earth; jurisprudence, and the assumption of innocence until guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

James & Sven discuss the book The Diamond Age (or The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer) by Neal Stephenson. The book is rich with technological, social, political, and philosophical visions of a unique and strange future Earth society, and has elements particularly of interest to Libertarians and Anarcho-capitalists.
