The 'Iks'

What happens to a people when all faith, family, and moral law are stripped away? In this episode, we examine The Mountain People, Colin Turnbull’s haunting study of the Ik tribe—a society reduced to brutal egoism, where children are discarded, the weak are mocked, and survival is the only value. R.J. Rushdoony takes Turnbull’s account as a sobering portrait of what humanism inevitably produces: a collapse of virtue, community, and civilization itself. Join us as we explore why neither left nor right can halt this decay—and how only a return to God’s law can rebuild what humanism has torn down.
