Rights and Responsibilities - with Dr. Kayser Dec 24, 2022

Show notes

Today's conversation dives deeply into the question of Rights. We in the 2A community are quick to bring up our rights, to affirm them as pre-existing, to appeal to them as unlimited... but what exactly are these human rights, how should we talk about them, and how did America's founders define them? Today's guest is Dr. Phillip Kayser, a pastor and theologian who has written extensively on the topic.

How Powerful Tools can Cause Complacency Nov 05, 2022

Show notes

The more powerful a tool or a weapon is, the easier it is for its users to get lazy when using it. As more and more tools get automatic features, it gets easier for us to be lulled into a false sense of competence.
