Veridical

In this episode, I speak with Veridical's first guest, Abraham Quinones. Abraham is a good friend of mine and we discuss immigration both legal and illegal, cartels, U.S. involvement, practical solutions, the philosophy of U.S. military intervention, and other relevant topics.

In this episode I walk through David Benatar's Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence. I discuss his arguments and philosophical assumptions about human dignity, our quality of life, and why we should have a proper phased out extinction. I always discuss relevant topics such as abortion, infanticide, and rearing children in extreme circumstances. As always, I appreciate your willingness to join me in these book reviews. 

Thank you to the Small World Media team for making this podcast possible.

In this episode I take a moment to reflect on my experience of the Turning Point USA event that was held at TCU. I play the audio of my interaction with Charlie Kirk and break down our conversation and provide my rebuttals. I discuss my challenges with having peers who support Kirk and individuals like him, and I also discuss ways I (and all of us) should be viewing our 'enemies'. 
Big shout out to the team at Small World for making my podcast possible, I am in debt to their kindness and patience with me.

In this episode I cover Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristen Kobes Du Mez This book covers the history and attempts to answer the question of 'How did we get here'? Doing a historical unearthing of the relationship between evangelical culture to far right politics. How can we prevent this from occurring again? By learning this history and looking for repeating signs in the culture today.

In this episode, I discuss both the World War 1 2022 film and the 1928 novel, All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, a former World War 1 veteran. In light of the Oscar season and the 8 nominations this film racked up, I want to make the case for why this movie deserves an Oscar and why this should be required reading at some point in the education system. This movie is my second favorite movie of all time only falling short of Nolan's Interstellar.

In this episode I answer questions regarding reprobation/predestination/freewill, murderers in Heaven and the atonement, and modern day pagan practices such as energy stones, witchcraft, and its fallibility.

In this episode I cover David Frum’s book: Trumpocracy. Though I concede that Trump is a passed on topic, his identity cult and pseudo-religious clan is here to stay. With Liz Cheney losing the nominations to more Trump puppets, something must be said for the current state of affairs and our future.

In this episode we explore the foreshadowed reality of our future with Yuval Noah Harari's book: Homo Deus: A brief History of Tomorrow. This book is a very turbulent venture through our history as homo sapiens, and challenges the reader to ponder how they want the future to look in the age of technology. The new age of technology is at our doorstep, and it is not going anywhere, we must embrace it but also learn how to ethically handle all the new power. Yuval believes that humans will replace God and achieve the status of divinity, his hypothesis is supported greatly throughout the book, though there are areas to challenge it. This book is one of the most powerful reads I have ever consumed, and I encourage everyone to buy the book!
