Sarah Dionne joined Tim and Mary Lee to discuss: How should parents relate to their adult children who are leaving the home (children generally between the ages of 17 and 22)?

Warfare and drones 46:48

3M ago46:48

46:48

The point of warfare is to kill and win, but the means to that end must be considered. The bloodlust of mankind is seldom, if ever, suppressed at the point of considering some advantage.

No Enemies to the Right (NETTR) 40:45

4M ago40:45

40:45

The internet is a balkanization of the populace: Everybody finds those they want to listen to. It is exceedingly difficult to teach somebody whose principal input in his life is through the internet. With a flesh-and-blood pastor, you at least can see his sins, his wife, and his children. Generally, with a pastor, you can’t escape his bad smells, b…

Tesla, Elon Musk, and Political Violence 59:35

5M ago59:35

59:35

Not All Tesla is Tesla. What Tesla means to people has shifted drastically. It’s a shibboleth in our culture. From the darling of the green left to the “Swasticar,” you're now considered a villain if you drive a Tesla, particularly a Cybertruck. We don’t understand Elon Musk until we get a grip on South Africa and her unapologetic males. South Afri…

Advocating for Devil's Advocacy 1:22:00

5M ago1:22:00

1:22:00

What is the origin of the "devil's advocate"? What are the benefits of assigning someone to that role?

1:19:27

Jürgen von Hagen joins Tim Bayly to discuss fruitfulness, natalism, and fertility demographics. From Malthus to Erlich to many contemporaries—for over two centuries—the prophets of doom have pleaded with mankind to abandon fruitfulness to survive.

Heirlooms and Traditions 1:12:21

7M ago1:12:21

1:12:21

So often we attempt to be aspirational in the setting of traditions in our families. What does that mean? It means we work hard to build traditions meant to project to others the "perfection" of our marriages, our childrearing, and our homesteads. Rather than cave to the pressure to portray the perfect home with the perfect traditions for the perfe…

Los Angeles burns and fire policy in California is exposed. Accountability and reformation ought to come. What can we learn about church reform from wildfires and fire policy?
