In this episode, we delve into C.S. Lewis’s allegory from The Great Divorce, where a ghost clings to a puppet symbolizing performative victimhood. Drawing parallels to contemporary society, we explore how modern culture often elevates grievance over healing, turning pain into identity and empathy into moral coercion. We discuss the dangers of allowing resentment to define us and the importance of choosing joy and forgiveness over perpetual outrage. Join us as we reflect on Lewis’s insights and their relevance to today’s cultural and political climate.

In this episode, we expose how America’s elite universities have become hedge funds masquerading as schools—hoarding wealth, overpaying executives, and saddling students with lifelong debt, all while enjoying tax-exempt status. We compare them to their European counterparts, explain why free college is impossible under this model, and argue it’s time to tax the empire hiding behind ivy-covered walls.

 In this episode, we dive into HBO’s The White Lotus as more than just prestige TV—it’s a mirror held up to the decadent, self-justifying rituals of elite liberalism. We unpack how wealth and guilt dance together in a new gospel of indulgence, where morality is performative and redemption is bought through ideology. From sun-soaked resorts to the darker undercurrents of privilege, we explore what White Lotus unintentionally reveals about the spiritual emptiness of our cultural elites—and why the gospel of Christ offers a better story.

It’s not even politics. It’s a spiritual sickness, one Dostoevsky foresaw in The Devils: the thrill of destruction disguised as justice. Join us as we explore the deeper meaning behind these acts, the collapse of democratic discourse, and the dangerous allure of nihilism masquerading as progress.
