The Current Thing is back, and we have a great guest.

We discuss: -Whether tackling political problems can compromise us morally and spiritually -The version of Christianity he follows and why -Whether Jesus was political -His understanding of ‘Traditionalism’ -Why he found New Age thinkers like Eckhart Tolle lacking -Masculinity, and whether men need a family -Why the ‘Red Pill’ movement died out -His predictions on Reform UK and the future of Britain -C.S. Lewis And lots more!
