Episode #117 (March 11, 1986)

In this sweeping Easy Chair episode, R.J. Rushdoony takes listeners on a global and intellectual journey—from the streets of contemporary Africa to the halls of American education and power. Tackling absurdities in wildlife preservation, the myth of IQ testing, and the rise of secularism in public life, Rushdoony exposes the ideological failures behind modern institutions. With biting wit and deep conviction, he critiques evolutionary science, government overreach, and even umbrella fashion in 18th-century England—all while reminding us of the enduring need for Christian truth in shaping culture and restoring order.
