EP374: A Couple Political Stories | NYT Admits our Mental Health Obsession is Back-Firing | My Recent Essay

On This Episode: POLITICAL STORY ONE: SNL's Surprising Jokes The first two jokes on SNL's Weekend Update were at President Biden's expense this week. That's an historic oddity. It also tells us something about our political moment, and I have some interpretive thoughts (including a look-ahead to next November's election). POLITICAL STORY TWO: The Speaker Knows His History A CNBC reporter recently challenged Speaker Mike Johnson on his praying from the Congressional House floor, arguing for separation of church and state. Mike Johnson did a masterful job of correcting him. I'll play the audio and explain further that literally everyone brings their faith to their politics (Secularism and Humanism are religions) NYT'S ADMISSION ON MENTAL HEALTH This editorial from the New York Times admits our over-obsession with mental health and youth is back-firing. I'll provide some theories on why that is. MY RECENT ESSAY I'm publishing an Essay soon entitled "The Future won't be Confused." I read that essay here. In short, it's a recognition that this western, secular experiment regarding marriage, sex, sexuality, parenting and a lot more will collapse and ultimately be scorned by generations to come. As Asian and African traditional cultures (which already reject disordered sexualities) become more Christian, we know that the future will be built on the ashes of this very stupid, confused, sex-obsessed, self-worshipping era.
