Artificial Boxes Jun 30, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie react to some listener emails, topics include: one who listens during her chemo treatments; transgenderism; life is complex… you must seek truth; putting people into boxes is a mistake; people want reality to conform to their view… another mistake: addiction; are there good addictions; conservative and common sense are synonymous; crimes and punishments; the differences between men and women with regard to sexuality; and the truth is decent.

God’s Will Jun 23, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie ponder how much freewill people really have in life? They discuss the impulse to steal, reasons for not stealing, and cheating on tests. What are the five Commandments that people struggle with most? The bible is a divine life manual. If God gives people good individual natures… does God give people evil individual natures …or is it random/luck? Did God create evil… or did God create the possibility for evil?

Numb to Evil Jun 16, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie discuss dignity and the pernicious nature of social media. They breakdown self-promotion versus the cancer of social media. There is too much needless posting and there are too many needless opinions. Parents, mostly mothers, are using their children on social media for fame and money… it’s child abuse. Pedophilia…. has social media exacerbated it? Polylogism is the belief that different people or groups have different forms of logic. Sharia law… is it all bad? Many value systems exist… moral clarity is paramount. The death of moral clarity will be the end of civilization. The media of the West are a bigger threat than any terrorist organization… they cause more damage. You must use reason and pursue truth at any cost. Cultural appropriation … is it all bad? Can you live an electronic-less life? The desire to be an “influencer” …does the yearning to be “important” drive the social media life? Being deep is more valuable than having fame.

Un-Presidented Trump “The Felon” Jun 09, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie react to the Trump conviction. Evil isn’t dark… it’s so bright that people don’t want to face it. We are in a battle …civilizational versus anti-civilizational. If you have a clear mind the Trump trial makes no sense to you. In his book Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg brilliantly traces the intellectual roots of fascism to their surprising source. Dennis says Judge Juan Merchan could have been one of Stalin’s judges. The toughest question you can ask a Leftist in your family is… what were the 34 crimes Trump was convicted of? We are in the age of inversion… who’s the real threat to Democracy? Isaiah 5:20 - Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Dennis says there’s no hope for people who lie and believe their lies. Do Leftist believe their lies? They discuss Israel versus Hamas… and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. We are the beneficiaries of western civilization …we are obligated to protect it.

Seek Joy Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie discuss joy and performance… passion is infectious. Dennis recalls fondly his father, Max Prager’s lessons and examples in life. Not achieving your God given potential will cause bitterness. If you are stuck in a situation… find a way to celebrate it. The most powerful thing you can give a person is a good example. Finding joy in life requires effort and enthusiasm matters. They reflect on Jordan Peterson living in the public eye. The importance of being a good model and passing on values. Being a good role model isn’t enough however, it also requires spoken word. Conversely a negative role model can be equally effective… and devastating. Is the influence of a bad role model more powerful than the influence of a good role model?

Wisdom May 26, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie discuss the differences of working with women and men. You should have close same sex friends… if you don’t, that is odd. Very close opposite sex friendships rarely work. Can you learn from someone else’s mistake… or must you experience the issue to understand? Beware of people who are too close to their parents, and conversely parents who are too close to their children. D+J discuss three reasons parents attend their children’s games… are they healthy reasons? The limits, boundaries, separations, and distinctions of appropriateness have been blurred in today’s society. For the credit of being a good or bad person… you are not solely a product of your parents. Reason without God leads to chaos.

The Age of Inversion May 19, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie examine having fun… male fun versus female fun; donkey versus monkey; language, pronunciation, and accents; Johnny Carson; Harrison Butker’s commencement speech; and Clarence Thomas. The political is everywhere in society… there are no boundaries. Leviticus 19 - “The Lord said to Moses, Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.” Chaos is the natural state of the world… civilization provides order, and we are moving backwards. Bangladesh became the first country to grant its rivers the same legal status as humans. A survivor of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution said she has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since watching 'Marxist hordes' overrun US college campuses. How are parents reacting to, or handling, the “wokeness” in their kids? Everything is upside down… those who accuse racism are racist… those who claim to protect trans kids are hurting them... those who claim tolerance are intolerant. Are people brainwashed or mentally ill? We are in an era of incompatible views… is the gap unbridgeable?

All or Nothing May 12, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie reflect on complimenting each other, when and how to take criticism, and avoiding “always” and “never.” Today’s culture lacks nuance… very few positions in life are binary. Bad ideas prevail because the vast majority of non-evil people are weak. Other topics include: the missing tile syndrome; the Israel protests; BLM; proper grammar; TDS; micro versus macro values; private versus public speech; Talmud wisdom - a bashful person cannot learn; aphorisms; The Book of Virtues – Bill Bennett’s book https://amzn.to/3WwyxKj; and the poem If by Rudyard Kipling

Ruined U May 05, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie start with the anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. The damage that university professors have done to the country over the last eighty years is incalculable. When moral confusion is accepted in one category it spreads to other categories. Parents… what makes you think your child won’t be affected by this if you send your children to university? Dennis reflects on his trip to South Africa. They discuss Jewry in the United States versus Jewry around the world. People become cynical because they started out naïve. Learning how to say “thank you” in as many languages possible has served Dennis well. It is a beautiful thing that there are many cultures in the world… it is not a beautiful thing that there are many moralities in the world. Julie shares her experience on the subway in NYC.

Take a Step Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie reveal that being sad is acceptable but being offended is not. Don’t sweat the small stuff because the power of instant rage is staggering. There is righteous anger… Julie was robbed of her college experience by the Covid lockdowns. The differences between the Trump and Biden Presidencies are clear. Derived from Aesop’s Fable - The Herdsman and The Lost Bull – D+J discuss that you should be careful what you wish for; your wish may be granted. Raising the minimum wage has had some awful unintended effects on the workforce. Secularism produces morons. Diagnosing problems is good… offering solutions is better. They analyze optimism versus pessimism. How can the average person fight? Life is not a dress rehearsal. Julie raises an email she received from a transgender viewer.
