There is more than one way to burn a book. In the modern publishing industry, books are censored, edited or scrapped entirely to avoid straying from woke dogma. ‘Sensitivity readers' scour for words, characters and plot lines that could cause offence to minorities. ‘Morality clauses' ensure that authors espouse the correct views in public. The result is books that are bland, predictable and utterly safe. Here, Adam Szetela – author of That Book is Dangerous! – lifts the lid on how the publishing industry itself became the enemy of literature.

The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk has focused attention on political violence.

Robert P. George is not a passive observer of the proverbial culture wars; he's been a very active participant. As a Catholic legal scholar and philosopher at Princeton University, he was an influential opponent of Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, receiving a Presidential medal from President George W. Bush. George decries the “decadence” of secular culture, and, in 2016, he co-wrote an op-ed declaring Donald Trump “manifestly unfit” to serve as President. Although George disagrees with the Administration's tactics to change universities' policies by punishment, he agrees with its contention that campuses have become hotbeds of leftism that stifle debate. He regards this not as a particular evil of the left but as “human nature”: “If conservatives had the kind of monopoly that liberals had,” George tells David Remnick, “I suspect we'd have the same situation, but just in reverse.” His recent book, “Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment,” tries to chart a course back toward civil, functioning debate in a polarized society. “I encourage my students to take courses from people who disagree with me, like Cornel West and Peter Singer,” the latter of whom is a controversial philosopher of ethics. “Cornel and I teach together for this same reason. Peter invites his students to take my courses. That's the way it should be.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Benjamin S. Carson, Sr. M.D., one of America's most principled leaders, a brilliant mind, and a champion of freedom. Dr. Ben Carson is the founder and chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, the 17th U.S. Secretary of the Department of Housing and Development, and former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The conversation focuses on: * Domestic and foreign policy initiatives with a review on the successes of the second Trump Administration. * The importance of faith, family and patriotism in protecting our freedoms in America. * The ills of marxism and socialism and their manifestation in America. * Expanding homeownership and reigniting the American Dream. * Affirming Israel's sovereignty and protecting Jewish communities in the West. Our conversation also highlights Dr. Ben Carson's must-read book "The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family." Quote from Dr. Ben Carson's book, "The Perilous Fight": "The perilous fight" was penned by Francis Scott Key in the midst of a most difficult and pivotal moment in our nation's history when twenty British ships bombarded Fort McHenry from the Baltimore Harbor. It was on the morning of September 14, 1814 that Francis Scott Key wrote about the ramparts, and the land of the free and the home of the brave which inspired a nation and became a rallying victory call. “The perilous fight—those words arrest my attention whenever I place my right hand over my heart and face the flag at the playing of our national anthem. They are a reminder that America was born in a crucible of fire. Freedom was not given freely but had to be fought for and defended.” ~ Dr. Ben Carson Biography | Dr. Ben Carson In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital's history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson's accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center for over 29 years. In 2016, Dr. Carson accepted the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump administration. After completing his tenure as the 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute. This organization is focused on fighting for the principles that have guided him through life and that make this country great: faith, liberty, community and life. Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. The organization has awarded more than 11,000 scholarships and paid out more than $8.9 million in scholarships. The Carson Scholars Fund is currently operating in 50 states and the District of Columbia, and since its founding, has installed more than 270 Ben Carson Reading Rooms around the country. In 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute (ACI), a conservative think tank centered around advancing policies that promote “faith, liberty, community, and life.” Dr. and Mrs. Carson reside in Florida. They are the proud parents of three sons and three daughters-in-law, and blessed grandparents of eight grandchildren. Visit the American Cornerstone Institute's website (https://americancornerstone.org/) The American Cornerstone Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2021 by Dr. Ben Carson that focuses on advancing America's founding principles of faith, liberty, community, and life. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @RealBenCarson @ileaderssummit @AmericasRT @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Is consent the ultimate standard for morality? Our culture says, “If two adults agree, it must be okay.” But the Bible shows us a higher standard—God's. In this episode, we explore why human consent alone isn't enough, how sin is often “taking what isn't yours,” and why real freedom comes from aligning with God's will, not just our desires. #TheKirkCameronShow #ConsentCulture #BiblicalTruth #ChristianPodcast #MoralityMatters #GodsWord #ChristianLiving #FaithAndCulture #ChristianPerspective #KirkCameron #ChristianPodcastClips #ChristianRelationships #ChristianFaith #TruthOverCulture #ChristianMen Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys. Today Father opens with a brief chat about a podcast designed primarily for an individual's own family, leading Father to believe that every family should have a family podcast. Afterwards Father focuses on talking about and offering his two cents on the “Topic du Jour”. Among the topics of the day which he touches on are Catholicism-Theory vs Fact, Catholic Awards, the 19th Amendment and the Decline in Morality in society today. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
"Why do you tend to focus on ethical questions? The answer is always ultimately God, which philosophy argues is an appeal to authority. If the authority doesn't just have the truth, but is the truth, then what is the issue with appealing to God?""Do objects in the natural world have an essential quality or are their attributes constructed in the effort to make sense?""You mentioned on recent episode how no prior philosopher discussed childhood, parenting and childhood trauma and thats what prompted your book 'peaceful parenting'"Why do you think it's the case?""Would UPB apply to an alien race of sentient, intelligent beings, or could their evolution have driven them toward a value system that would be completely incompatible with a human value system?""You said: 'It is my firm belief that illness often follows a lengthy period of feeling useless."Having a purpose – especially a moral purpose – keeps you healthy.'"Can you explain the physiology behind that first statement? I mostly agree with the second.""Ultimately the left/right divide is equality vs freedom. Both are necessary for a society to function. What would be the best form of government to enact a sensible balance between the two?""Could exile be a legitimate non-violent extension of shunning when an individual persistently breaks the social contract?""A proposition: Hard determinism is true, our belief in agency is the veil that separates from a non-dual, “enlightened” understanding and perception of reality.""Ideas of the supernatural rule out the possibility of materialism since they 1) should be inexplicable in observed nature 2) are irreducible in quality and 3) cannot be created ex nihilo. Either we experienced the supernatural or our mind is part immaterial.""Do you have any thoughts on Taoism?""I was pushed into marriage at 18 by the Baptist couple that 'adopted' me in high school. They were so afraid I'd embarrass them by having premarital sex or something, but they also wanted me to be college educated before having kids. We didn't make it through college together and I was divorced and devastated at 21 and they 'disowned' me. "I went on to graduate, got a great job and proved to everybody (as if that matters) that I was a success regardless of being raised in the underworld. "Fast forward to turning 30, biological clock, FOMO, all my friends having babies. I married the next guy that seemed to have it all together and I ended up a single mom of 2 for the next 14 years. "All this sounds so degenerate that it's hard to admit. But I'm married to a “good” man now that my kids love and I think it's been good for them to have a 'dad' finally, even though I did everything wrong. "My philosophical question is, after making so many mistakes, can I be useful now to help others not make the same mistakes or should I just shut up forever?""If God warns us not to do something, but gave us free-will to disobey - was it always his plan for Man to dissent?""Are hedonistic people truly happy? Or is the happiness they seem to feel just an illusion?""How do you get a philosophy graduate off your porch?"Thank him for the pizza...""If the Communist Control Act of 1954 (50 U.S.C. §§ 841–844) declares that communism is both a political conspiracy and a 'clear and present danger,' then where does the line fall between protecting liberty and destroying it in the name of protection?""Why does the education system persist despite how fast everyone outside of it is learning things?""The epigenetic question.... Does the experience of past Generations translate into the lived experience""If energy is the foundation of all reality (if you look deep enough all matter can be expressed as energy), and energy is a quasi-metaphysical concept that operates within physical contextual framing and parameters, does that imply that energy is a metaphysical concept, and thus all of physical reality is a branch of metaphysics?""Does intrinsic - objective - value exist?""If it can be proven that we live in a simulation, how should we act?""Tangential to recent discussions, how about a classic: What is justice? What is revenge?""I'm stuck on the fact that there is no evidence of god/gods, but the idea that at some point, matter just came into existence out of nothing is also equally unbelievable for me.""Is man inherently evil? How is a society kept together without absolute chaos if man is inherently evil? Is it a knowledge of a base morality within us as human beings? How do we know good from evil?""What are your thoughts on music & it's effects, does it have an effect? For instance listening to classical music vs hip hop music.""My wife sets the tone in our relationship, as she clearly won't adjust her behavior. Should I let her set the tone and follow suit, so to speak? Could you elaborate on the credo that 'you treat them as they treat you'? Does this apply to my wife?""How do you strike a balance between accepting others imperfections vs holding others to a certain standard in business and or personal relationships"SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Part one of a two part Broligarchy Roast that covers multiple deep dive topics. As the bros continue to flood the zone, we work to understand the significance and impact of each action AND stay focused on the Epstein files.

"It's so scary to be nobody."In this episode, I'm talking with Yarmila Alfonzetti, one of Australia's leading arts professionals, a mother, a wife, a friend, and, in the truest sense of the word, a curious yogi.Yarmila joins me with so much joy and openness to share her journey as a yogi. Together, we dive into themes of identity, ego, and what makes yoga retreats so special. She speaks about the gift of silence in practice, the experience of bliss, and how personal growth brings its own responsibilities. Along the way, we reflect on the wisdom of our many teachers and the transformative power of retreats, reminding us that yoga is truly a lifelong journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding.Here are a few of the nuggets we explore:➖ Accepting our inner seeking nature can be challenging. ➖ The ego can be a significant barrier to growth. ➖ Silence and meditation become more important as practice deepens. ➖ The path of seeking is often filled with challenges and fears. ➖ Morality and kindness are essential in the pursuit of truth. ➖ Yoga retreats offer space for real learning and personal growth.I loved this candid and spontaneous conversation with Yarmila. She mentioned that she always tries to be the best person in the room, and I believe she truly is.This chat really feels like sitting down with two friends, and I think you'll feel that too.✨ Also, tune in to the intro for a special scholarship offer for our India retreat—open to one of our Curious Yogi Podcast listeners!In oneness, BobbiThanks for listening!
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux explores Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) and its impact on morality and societal coherence. The discussion highlights contradictions in human thought, emphasizing the discomfort these inconsistencies create in rational minds. The relationship between philosophical reasoning and physical coercion is analyzed, questioning the sustainability of principles amidst conflict.The lecture also examines the role of cultural myths in fostering group solidarity and critiques the narrow assessment of capitalism, advocating for recognition of its broader virtues. Ultimately, UPB serves as a standard for moral integrity, underscoring the importance of self-ownership and moral consistency in society.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
Decarlos Brown Jr. Robin Westman. Audrey Hale. These are just a few names of killers that the Left rushed to defend while ignoring their victims. On today's episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words," Hanson discusses the growing trend of "upside-down morality," in which the Left and the media downplay violent crime, hide key facts, distort the narrative, and prioritize "understanding" criminals rather than defending the innocent. How does society reverse course on this dangerous rhetoric? “When Iryna [Zarutska] was killed on the light rail, there were three people right across the aisle. And when they saw her collapse and she was looking at—looking at the ceiling, thinking, ‘I'm dying because a man just killed me for no reason. No one is helping me,' they each got up, solitarily walked right by her in her last gasp—did not offer a tourniquet, did not offer to help, did not call anybody. I don't know why they did that. “Maybe they thought if they did something like Daniel Penny and tried to intervene and save a life that they might be prosecuted or they might, who knows, or they were cowardly. But it's the same idea that we don't have any empathy for the victim, and if the victim doesn't fit a particular status that we call victim, the real victim of a physical act of violence or murder or assault, but if they don't fit a particular rubric as a victim that is based on their sexual orientation or their homeless status or their race, that we don't really care about them.”

Given that Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to still apply to modern people, is there any hope of some day having a civilization rooted in reality?If truly sentient and self-aware and self-motivated robots come to be, would you welcome them into the world as fellow beings worthy of respect?Can an Atheist, like an Ex-muslim be a Christian at least culturally go to church and all, even if he can't find any rational way to believe that God exists. I know, I know it's a strange Question.If the purpose of life is, as I think it is, to become a great mate, find a great mate, create a family, and raise kids who will be great mates themselves... what does the purpose of life become for people who can't, don't, or choose not to become parents?Would moral standards exist, or need to exist, in a post-Singularity world where anyone can have anything they want, built by robotics, AI, and insanely advanced 3D printers?My question is basically rooted in the notion that, once we have anything we want, what are moral standards worth?Moral standards are worth something right now because we need each other in order to survive and thrive. Moral standards produce mutual respect between humans so we can trade with each other, either without conflict or with minimal conflict, maintaining social stability.I apologize if I've completely misunderstood what "morality" as a concept is about. I kind of know what it is, but only from my simpleton perspective. I would love to get your perspective.Thanks Stef.Utilitarianism or Deontology - "greatest good" or "moral principle?" Old debate but I haven't heard your take.what is truth?Not a question but elaborate a bit on the left-right rabbit hole. I'm feeling used.How do we keep ourselves from hating our enemy more than we love our people?What does it mean to feel pain for the loss of someone you never met in person?Why are we here?Divorce and family dissolution is agony that endures until death. Is it better to have loved and lost or to never have loved and thus be spared the loss?Would you abort a pedophile baby?How can we know that we ALL see the same color when we say "blue" or "Green"?If space ends what is on the other side?Why is there something, rather than nothing?How long will it take for me to stop grieving Charlie Kirk's murder?Does your internal dialogue or actions shape your reality? Which one is more significant and why?Universal morality versus in-group morality. If you believe in universal morality still, upon what basis?Why do most philosophers believe in God?What's your opinion on Sam Harris?What's the point of it all, it's not even struggle anymore it's all just crap, endless, worthless crapWhat are you thoughts regarding ‘cancel culture' and the differences that exist between how it implemented by the right vs the leftFOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

This segment unpacks the potent intersection of queer identity, HIV stigma, and religious condemnation through a Pulitzer-winning musical. We explore how faith-based shame and societal neglect, especially during the AIDS crisis, weaponized pain against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to immeasurable loss and continued fear, even with life-saving medications. It's a stark reminder that bigotry costs lives, and that societal acceptance still lags behind medical progress, particularly for marginalized groups. When "morality" dictates who deserves care, humanity truly suffers.News Source: Black Gay Playwright Michael R.

Do evolutionary models adequately account for the reality of human altruism, moral conviction, and cooperation? Does intelligent design offer a better explanation? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins discussing these questions and more with geologist and attorney Casey Luskin. McDiarmid's recent article exploring scientific worldview in the Marvel universe generated some lively back-and-forth in the comments section, particularly about whether evolutionary processes could account for humans looking out for other humans. Luskin tackles the question head-on, putting it in the larger context of evolutionary psychology's penchant for explaining every possible human behavior through the lens of a Darwinian past. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Source
As America has reeled from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many have wondered what the future holds.How will this tragedy transform America? Will political violence continue to escalate? What is the path forward?To understand our current political and cultural moment, I sat down with legal scholar and political philosopher Robert George. He's a professor and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University.“We're at an inflection point, and it's very worrying, very dangerous,” George said. “We could easily fall into a cycle of revenge, and then what becomes of us?”For years, he has been contemplating how the age of faith and the age of reason have been succeeded by what he has described as the “age of feelings” and moral relativism.His new book is titled: “Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment.”In this episode, we have explored Kirk's legacy, the dangers of ever-growing polarization, and the pernicious ideas that have eroded civil discourse and the foundations of our free society.“If this generation rising today does not adopt a spirit of civic friendship, if they don't value civil discourse, then … this grand experiment in republican government and ordered liberty bequeathed to us by our great founding fathers will be lost,” George said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
