How are these abusive teen rehab centers still open? Why are parents still sending their kids there? Can't they be shut down? Maia Szalavitz is an award-winning author and journalist who covers addiction and neuroscience. Her book, Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids, is the first comprehensive look at systemic abuse in “tough love” programs and helped spur Congressional hearings & GAO investigations. In this episode, you'll hear how the abusive teen rehab centers featured in Netflix's The Program & Wayward (think Straight Inc., The Seed, Synanon & wilderness camps) began with tough love doctrine, why you can legally treat kids worse than prisoners, why parents aren't suing & why regulations just don't stick. We also weave in the perspective of struggling parents who feel that the anti-troubled teen industry is hurting their healing efforts.  If you like this episode, you'll also like episode 248: SURVIVING THE TROUBLED TEEN INDUSTRY: SEPARATING IDENTITY FROM EXPERIENCE [REMASTERED] Guest:https://x.com/maiasz https://maiasz.com/ Resources:Boy who was raised as a dog https://a.co/d/0bA3dxmi Pace Center for Girls Pensacola https://www.pacecenter.org/locations/florida/escambia-santa-rosa/ Gulf Coast Kids House https://www.gulfcoastkidshouse.org/ Greenhouse Counseling https://www.ghcpensacola.com/  Host:  https://www.meredithforreal.com/  https://www.instagram.com/meredithforreal/ meredith@meredithforreal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/meredithforreal  https://www.facebook.com/meredithforrealthecuriousintrovert  Sponsors: https://www.jordanharbinger.com/starterpacks/ https://www.historicpensacola.org/about-us/  02:00 — The cult origins: Synanon begins04:00 — “I must have needed that” psychology05:00 — The rattlesnake assassination attempt07:00 — The Seed and brainwashing teens08:00 — Straight Incorporated goes national10:00 — Why parents don't believe abuse reports12:00 — Utah wilderness programs rise13:00 — The death of Aaron Bacon14:00 — Moral panic & religious fear15:00 — Good parents, fatal decisions16:00 — Why regulation keeps failing17:00 — Regulatory capture in Utah20:00 — Unannounced inspections change everything22:00 — Why traumatized kids need gentleness27:00 — Warehouses of neglect28:00 — Should therapy have an FDA?29:00 — Renaming punishment as treatment32:00 — Exhausted parents & marketing fear34:00 — How small power corrupts42:00 — Why lawsuits rarely succeed44:00 — Private right of action explained45:00 — Does awareness help or hurt?46:00 — Educational consultants & kickbacks54:00 — Local resources for struggling families55:00 — Undoing drugs & keeping people aliveRequest to join my private Facebook Group, MFR Curious Insiders https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BAt3bpwJC/

In this long-awaited episode of Breaking the Rules, we finally do a deep dive into contamination-themed OCD — one of the most common, misunderstood, and physically debilitating OCD presentations.This conversation goes far beyond clichés about handwashing and cleanliness. We unpack what contamination OCD actually looks like day-to-day: the pain, the exhaustion, the food avoidance, the disrupted routines, the impact on relationships, parenting, work, and health — and the quiet suffering that often goes unseen.We explore both physical contamination fears (germs, illness, food safety, asbestos, chemicals) and moral contamination, where people fear being “tainted” by proximity to someone or something that conflicts with their values. The episode also tackles one of the trickiest clinical questions: how to work with ego-syntonic rules without turning therapy into another rigid rule system.This is an essential listen for clinicians, clients, and loved ones wanting a clearer, more compassionate understanding of contamination OCD — and how ERP can be done flexibly, ethically, and effectively.

Ferdinand von Schirach ist Strafverteidiger und Bestsellerautor – und jemand, der sich seit Jahrzehnten mit Schuld, Gerechtigkeit und der Würde des Menschen beschäftigt. Das letzte Mal war er 2021 im Hotel zu Gast. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, was ein gerechtes Gesetz ist – und ob es so etwas überhaupt geben kann. Wir sprechen über die Würde des Menschen, über das moralphilosophische Gedankenexperiment des Weichenstellers, über Demokratie, Kunst, eine Nahtoderfahrung und warum unser Steuersystem vielleicht nicht reformiert, sondern komplett neu gedacht werden müsste. Es geht um Macht, Verantwortung, Gerechtigkeit und um sein neues Kinderbuch, in dem er versucht, all das einem Zehnjährigen zu erklären.

Masterpiece Podcasts: Collection of Chinese Classic Novels

Using public storytelling as a driving force, Moral Storytelling in 1920s New York, Odessa, and Bombay: Sex, Crime, Violence, and Nightlife in the Modern City (Bloomsbury, 2026) by Dr. Mark D. Steinberg explores everyday social moralities relating to stories of sex, crime, violence, and nightlife in the 1920s city space. Focusing on capitalist New York, communist Odessa, and colonial Bombay, Dr. Steinberg taps into the global dimension of complex everyday moral anxiety that was prevalent in a vital and troubled decade.Moral Storytelling in 1920s New York, Odessa, and Bombay compares and connects stories of the street in three compelling cosmopolitan port cities. It offers novel insights into significant and varied areas of study, including city life, sex, prostitution, jazz, dancing, gangsters, criminal undergrounds, cinema, ethnic and racial experiences and conflicts, prohibition and drinking, street violence, 'hooliganism' and other forms of 'deviance' in the contexts of capitalism, colonialism, communism, and nationalism.The book tells the stories of moralizers: empowered and insistent critics of deviance driven to investigate, interpret, and interfere with how people lived and played. Beside them, not always comfortably, were the policemen and journalists who enforced and documented these efforts. It also reveals the histories of women and men, mostly working class and young, who were observed and categorized: those judged to be wayward, disreputable, disorderly, debauched, and wild. Dr. Steinberg explores this global culture war and the everyday moral improvisations-shaped by experiences of class, generation, gender, ethnicity, and race-that came with it. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Chris Markowski discusses the importance of understanding financial reality, the principles of Adam Smith's capitalism, and the moral philosophy behind economics. He critiques the current state of government involvement in the economy, the retirement crisis facing Gen X, and the flaws in traditional investment strategies. Markowski also highlights the entertainment nature of financial media and the missteps of private equity firms, particularly in relation to Ivy League investments. The episode concludes with a discussion on the implications of Goldman Sachs' connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader issues of accountability in the financial sector.

Everything You Trusted ....Was Designed to Keep You AsleepBeloved,There's a particular kind of pain that comes not from physical injury, but from something far deeper—the shattering of trust in what we believed was good, true, and safe.It has a name: moral injury.And if you've been feeling confused or depressed, listen or read to the end.Moral injury happens when someone or something we deeply trusted—an authority figure, an institution, a system we built our lives around—reveals itself to be the opposite of what we believed it to be.

Today on Questions with Father, we look upward—quite literally. What does the Catholic Church say about space travel? Is exploring the cosmos a noble pursuit, or does it risk becoming a modern Tower of Babel? We reflect on Pope Pius XII's encouragement of scientific exploration, the real medical and scientific benefits gained from space missions, and the moral principles that help us judge the risks involved. We also examine the modern push toward space tourism, lunar colonization, and even reshaping human identity through technology. Where does legitimate discovery end and hubris begin? This episode offers a Catholic framework for thinking about humanity's future beyond Earth.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood.

Die Epstein-Affäre zieht immer größere Kreise. Ex-Prinz Andrew wird von der britischen Polizei verhaftet. Was sagt der Fall Epstein über die Moral in unserer Gesellschaft? Warum scheint Recht und Gesetz nicht für alle zu gelten? Über diese Fragen sprechen Markus Lanz und Richard David Precht in dieser Folge. Erleben wir die „spätrömische Dekadenz“ des 21. Jahrhunderts? Richard David Precht blickt auf die Abgründe des absolutistischen Frankreichs und der römischen Senatoren und kommt zu dem Schluss: „Wann immer eine Sozialnorm auf eine Marktnorm trifft, wird die Sozialnorm kannibalisiert.“ Der Fall Epstein jedenfalls wirkt wie eine „Säure für die Demokratie.“

CNN is airing a documentary on the rise of “Christian nationalism” just as Lent begins. Coincidence—or calculated political timing? In today's episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down what Christian nationalism actually means, how the Founders viewed God and government, and why the debate over America's moral foundation is intensifying in an election year.Are conservatives trying to establish a theocracy—or simply defending the belief that our rights come from God, not government? Todd examines the Declaration of Independence, C.S. Lewis, and the cultural confusion surrounding faith and politics.If America isn't built on biblical principles… what replaces them?

Segment 1 • A popular teaching claims Christians become “little gods”—but what does Scripture actually say? • Todd exposes how modern theology elevates man while diminishing God's exclusive glory. • Why confusing your created nature with God's uncreated, divine nature leads to catastrophic spiritual consequences. Segment 2 • A shocking confrontation reveals how moral outrage is now directed at the wrong targets. • Todd explains how Romans 1 warns us of the collapse of moral reasoning—and why we're seeing it so frequently today. • The real question: How do you reach people whose thinking is fundamentally broken by sin? Segment 3 • Why modern political outrage often ignores genuine evil while obsessing over symbolism and seemingly insignificant details. • Todd exposes the inconsistency between public virtue signaling and true moral contradictions on a deeper level. • What happens when cultural compassion and morality lose their grounding in God's truth? Segment 4 • Most gospel presentations today may be missing a critical—and biblical—element. • Paul Washer's prison sermon reveals what people must understand before grace makes sense. • Todd confronts a sobering possibility: Have Christians softened the gospel too much? ___ Thanks for listening!

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

You won't after reading this commentary on Genesis. Do you come from a dysfunctional family? It may comfort you to know that every family discussed in Genesis was highly dysfunctional!

In this episode of the Teach Different podcast, hosts Steve and Dan Fouts, along with guest Candace Fikis, explore a provocative quote by Malcolm X using the Teach Different Method. They discuss its implications for civil disobedience, the justification of violence, and the role of law in protests. They dive into the complexities of teaching controversial topics in the classroom, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe space for students to engage in discussions about current events and societal issues. The conversation highlights the need for educators to address these topics thoughtfully and encourages students to think critically about the methods of protest and the historical context surrounding them.Episode Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Context Setting02:07 - Exploring Malcolm X's Quote05:21 - Diverging Perspectives on Protest and Violence13:06 - Consequences of Approaches to Injustice13:34 - Exploring the Complexity of Protest and Law16:23 - The Moral vs. Manmade Law Debate18:21 - Student Protests: Rights and Responsibilities22:36 - Counterclaims and Perspectives on Violence25:07 - Historical Context of Violence in Leadership27:45 - Current Events and the Role of Citizens32:48 - Teachers' Responsibilities in Discussing Controversial TopicsImage Source: Marion S.

You ever try to snowboard while claiming a bad back? No? Good. Because apparently insurance companies are out here hiring private investigators to follow you to the grocery store and check your TikTok for “too active” behavior. We kicked things off today with a deep dive into the wild world of insurance claim surveillance — including a viral PI who caught a guy shredding a mountain while supposedly injured. Moral of the story: if you're gonna commit fraud… maybe don't hit the halfpipe.From there, we spiraled (as we do) into workplace comp horror stories, gorilla courtroom pranks that may or may not be real, and why oversharing on social media is basically volunteering to lose your case. It's education. It's cautionary. It's chaotic. It's the kind of thing only a daily comedy show like this can turn into group therapy with punchlines.Then in Crap On Celebrities:Dee Snider assures everyone he's NOT dying (we promise, he said it).Shia LaBeouf goes full Mardi Gras meltdown. Again.Cardi B announces she's “taking some out.” Yes, that's exactly what you think it means.Dr. Dre turns 61 and we celebrate with bangers that defined a generation.We also debate weird “favorite bands” (if your favorite band is Dishwalla, we need to talk), question cinematic universe crossovers, and somehow end up discussing Yoko Ono screaming at Chuck Berry. As one does.And then — the chaos crescendo:

Fr. Spitzer and Doug discuss how the core message of the Old Testament is inerrant and how the outward form of the message, that is subject to undeveloped thought, is not inerrant.

SummaryIn this episode of the 3 Pillars Podcast, Chase Tobin discusses the critical importance of discipline, consistency, and self-mastery in personal development and parenting. He emphasizes that discipline is foundational to strength and success in all areas of life, including physical fitness, mental fortitude, and moral integrity. The conversation explores how these principles can be instilled in children to prepare them for life's challenges and the importance of leading by example. Chase also highlights the dangers of an undisciplined life and the responsibilities that come with building a disciplined family environment.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Discipline and Consistency08:45 Physical Training and Its Deeper Meaning16:24 The Power of Consistency21:37 Discipline as a Family ValueSUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW PODCAST CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@3PillarsPodcast Takeaways-Discipline is what separates the strong from the weak.-Consistency is more powerful than intensity.-Discipline shapes your character and anchors your convictions.-Physical training teaches discipline for all areas of life.-A disciplined mind can carry a weak body through hardship.-Moral strength is essential for true strength.-Discipline is not optional; it's a command from God.-Saying no to destructive things builds spiritual muscles.-Discipline requires saying yes to the right things.-Your future family needs you to model discipline.God bless you all.

We're back this episode for our second timely interview focusing on political polarization, wrapping up in conversation with Dr. Kurt Gray, professor of moral psychology and neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill, and the director of the Deepest Beliefs Lab in the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding. Moral psychology is the descriptive understanding of our moral judgments, or concern with not just how people should make moral decisions, but how they actually do. Why does this matter?  In Dr. Gray's words: "To understand our contentious and divided political moments where people are unwilling to discuss politics across the aisle or entertain even that the other side is a reasonable human being in the way that you feel about yourself and your own side. We do disagree already when it comes to politics. But where does this political disagreement come from? …Once you get that, then you can understand where this political animosity comes from. But it's really a question of moral disagreement. And for that you need to understand our moral psychology." Read the transcript of this episode

This thought-provoking Bible talk offers an insightful examination of the clash between modern moral relativism and the absolute moral truth of Scripture.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comSociologist Ruth Braunstein joins Faithful Politics to examine how Americans use faith and moral language to interpret citizenship, protest, and public life. Drawing on her research into religious activism across the political spectrum, Braunstein explains why democracy in the United States is often framed as a “sacred project” and how two competing moral narratives — one rooted in prophetic critique and another in patriotic preservation — shape today's political conflicts. The conversation explores Christian nationalism, motivated reasoning, and the internal dynamics of white evangelical communities, while also highlighting progressive faith activism that often goes unseen. Braunstein argues that pluralism is difficult but necessary, and that meaningful democratic engagement starts by moving from partisan abstractions to shared local concerns. This discussion provides a sociological framework for understanding how faith communities influence politics and how citizens can hold strong convictions while navigating deep disagreement. Learn more: https://www.ruthbraunstein.comDemocracy is Hard Substack: https://substack.com/@ruthbraunsteinGuest BioRuth Braunstein is a sociologist who studies religion, politics, and democratic life in the United States.

The crew kicks things off by circling back to our ongoing relationship deep dives following up on Why Did I Get Married? and Relationship Goals. Are we evolving or just arguing better? We give a quick-hit review of The Fall Off from J. Cole and ask the real question: what actually determines a musical legend? Longevity? Impact? Vulnerability? Or just vibes? Then it's time for Episode 193's main event: His & Hers, the Netflix crime drama adaptation starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. We break down the dynamic between the leads and whether that chemistry really sells the chaos. Anna leaving her job, her family, and getting caught with Richard. The sexual assault conversation and was it handled well? Is this story about classism, racism… or both? Did you clock the killer early, or were you blindsided? We let the ladies cook as they unpack the lead characters, and we ask the fellas: If you were Jack… how would you really handle it? “Meat mail” and modern male audacity. The ladies' dating list vs. conquered list. Anna's mother and the emotional weight of her condition. Messy relationships. Moral gray areas. Gender politics. Suspicion. Accountability. All that and more but the only question that really matters: WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

Ethics in organizations live in leadership behaviors rather than documented in policies alone. We examined how leaders actively shape ethical climate and psychological safety through everyday decisions, silence, and signals.

The Letter to Thyatira: The Danger of Moral Compromise and the Divine Call to Holiness (Revelation 2:18–29) - Dr. Bill Cook

Wenn deutsche Leitmedien über Venezuela berichten, geschieht dies seit Jahren mit einer auffälligen sprachlichen und moralischen Eindeutigkeit. Begriffe wie „Diktatur“, „Regime“ oder „Failed State“ strukturieren die Berichterstattung und prägen nachhaltig die Wahrnehmung politischer, wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Entwicklungen. Sie erscheinen dabei weniger als erklärungsbedürftige Zuschreibungen denn als feststehende Deutungen, die kaum noch erläutert oder hinterfragt werden.Weiterlesen

La Berlinale es el primer gran festival del año y sirve para marcar el inicio de la nueva temporada y ver qué tendencias se vienen. En esta edición hay mucho cine de autor, poco Hollywood y presencia española con el debut de Ian de la Rosa y con la serie 'Ravalear'. En este episodio os ponemos al día de todo, escuchamos al maestro José Luis Guerin, analizamos 'Cumbres borrascosas' y charlamos con Chris Hemsworth. Además, en nuestro camino a los Goya, nos interesamos por los cortos documentales y su mirada al mundo de hoy.

Theatre and tech don't usually share the same stage. But that's changing. This season, two plays caught our eye: Data, a play about the inner workings of a data mining company, and Marjorie Prime, a play where grief, family, and AI collide. Karah interviews both playwrights: Matthew Libby (Data) and Jordan Harrison (Marjorie Prime). They discuss the origins of their plays, from failed collabs with AI chatbots to the internship with Palantir that never was. And how plays about technology can teach us about our humanity. Data runs through March 29th. Tickets are at lortel.org Marjorie Prime runs through February 15th. Buy Tickets at 2st.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Davos last month, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented what he called “the end of a pleasant fiction.” That notion has is hard to fathom yet impossible to ignore. For decades, the United States did not merely wield power. It framed power in moral terms. Legitimacy. Integrity. Rules. Whether we always lived up to those words is one question. Whether we still speak them with credibility is another. In this solo reflection, Corey Nathan explores what it means when America is no longer the country that lends moral language to the world order, but the country other nations feel compelled to hedge against. From Tocqueville's warning about democratic withdrawal to Jonathan Rauch's analysis of patrimonialism, from Lincoln's humility to the theological posture of the National Prayer Breakfast, this episode wrestles with a turning point.

Integrity and legitimacy were not just strategic tools but aspirations. Today, that language lands differently, not as calling card but as indictment. From Moral Order to Patrimonialism Drawing on the work of Jonathan Rauch, this episode examines what happens when public power begins to resemble personal property. Loyalty replaces rules. Access depends on fealty. Markets and institutions begin to read the room rather than uphold neutral principles. The National Prayer Breakfast and Theological Posture A prayer breakfast is meant to orient upward in humility. When reverence bends inward, the shift is not merely stylistic. It is theological. Tocqueville's Warning Democracy's danger may not arrive as sudden tyranny but as gradual withdrawal. Citizens retreat into private grievance. Moral discipline erodes. Individualism curdles into narcissism. The Comforting Assumption About Ourselves Nearly every white pastor today believes they would have stood with Martin Luther King Jr. The question is not whether that belief is sincere. The question is whether it would have been true. The Choice Before Citizens The world is already adjusting. Allies hedge. Middle powers collaborate. The question now belongs to citizens, not prime ministers. Withdrawal is understandable. It is not inevitable. Why This Matters Now The loss at stake is not only status but trust. If the pleasant fiction required tending, then its collapse requires responsibility. Renewal, if it comes, will not arrive through taunts or spectacle. It will be decided by habits, by courage, by whether citizens retreat or step forward. Connect on Social Media Corey is @coreysnathan on all the socials...

In this clinician-focused episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker sits down with Lincoln Stoller to explore how moral gating, progress narratives, and interpretive intrusion quietly shape the therapeutic encounter. Drawing from embodied tracking, neural imprinting, pacing, and relational attunement, this conversation moves beyond technique into the lived tension between guidance and control, confusion and clarity, progress and presence.Together, they examine how unconscious and subconscious patterns surface in the therapy room—especially at the edge point where shame, guilt, and identity defense activate. What happens when the therapist becomes the canvas for projection? When does “progress” become moral pressure? And how do we track rupture before it becomes relational collapse?This episode is grounded in the live exchange between Jeffrey and Lincoln, highlighting the nuanced interplay of boundary, capacity, and commitment in real time .Guest Highlight:Lincoln Stoller is a therapist and educator whose work integrates hypnotherapy, neurofeedback, and experiential reframing, inviting clients into generative confusion as a pathway to change.Three Core TakeawaysProgress vs. PresenceThe drive for forward movement can subtly become moral pressure—both for therapist and client. Tracking embodied cues helps differentiate authentic movement from identity-driven urgency.Moral Gating at the EdgeShame and guilt often surface at the boundary of growth. Without careful pacing and attunement, therapeutic direction can inadvertently reinforce the very defenses it seeks to soften.Relational Field AwarenessSubtle cues—eye aversion, breath shifts, withdrawal—signal rupture before narrative explanation does. Regulation and sequencing matter more than insight alone.Timestamp00:03 – Framing the Conversation04:30 – Client Story vs. Therapeutic Direction17:55 – Progress, Suggestion, and Intrusion24:48 – Tracking Rupture in Real Time32:15 – The Edge of Capacity38:33 – Therapist Identity & Fixing45:42 – Embodied Tracking & Neural Imprinting59:12 – Live Relational Processing1:04:02 – “You Are Allowed to Moralize”Why This Episode MattersFor trauma-informed clinicians, supervisors, and advanced practitioners, this dialogue illuminates how easily therapeutic intention can slide into subtle moralization—and how relational attunement, pacing, and embodied awareness restore coherence within the field.If your work involves navigating shame, rupture, identity threat, or high-performing clients who resist vulnerability, this conversation offers a nuanced lens into how growth actually unfolds—at the edge.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Lincoln StollerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

The spiritual world, Jesus and the Law, etymology of baptism and more in today's Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

In this episode, we're taking a hard look at the narrative being pushed by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who has suggested that some of the girls abused within Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network bear culpability themselves. We're talking about minors—14, 15, 16 years old—who were groomed, manipulated, and conditioned to believe that what was happening to them was normal. The framing of her comments ignores the fundamental reality of grooming: that predators like Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell deliberately used psychological coercion, normalization, and dependency to control their victims. Instead of centering the adults who built and profited from the operation, this rhetoric shifts attention onto the very people who were targeted and exploited. It blurs the line between coerced minors and knowing adult facilitators, creating a narrative that risks rewriting victims as participants without acknowledging the power imbalance that defined the entire system.We break down why this kind of framing is not just controversial, but dangerous. Publicly branding abused minors as traffickers—without clear context about coercion, age, and grooming—can chill cooperation, fracture survivor communities, and redirect outrage away from the architects of the criminal enterprise. Real accountability starts with the adults who organized, financed, protected, and benefited from the abuse network—not the children who were conditioned inside it. The episode examines how language, timing, and political incentives shape public perception, and why shifting blame downward ultimately protects power at the top. At the center of this discussion is a simple question: who benefits when the focus moves from abusers to the abused?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

We must be better stewards of history of this nation 250 years strong. God fearing folks need to hold the rest accountable to the corruption.

Today we talk about the book After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre. We talk about his genealogy of moral discourse. The teleologies of Aristotle. The failure of the Enlightenment moral project. Our modern culture of Emotivism and the sorts of characters that thrive in it. Shared practices and community as a way to revitalize moral conversation.
