Culture is not the same as civilization. There are thousands of cultures but only one civilization. Banks & bathrooms in Beijing, Bombay, and Bangkok grew to resemble such institutions in Boston, Birmingham, and Berlin; not the other way around. Along with millions of others who voted with their feet, you and I also prefer civilization to any of the countless cultures we could have lived in. The problem is that civilization is a frighteningly fragile flower. What happens when we clip that flower off its roots? Why does it take so much more work and time to build a house than to demolish it? What does that have to do with the advantages that liberalism, progressivism, and socialism seem to possess among young voters in many countries? And why politicians and bureaucrats exempt themselves from the laws and regulations they religiously impose upon others.

Numbers are your portal to progress. What happened to England when all Jews were expelled? What happened to England when they returned? Start devoting a few hours every week to improving your numerical literacy. Stop telling yourself you canât do math. Nothing too complicated, just start on becoming more familiar with numbers than you are. In Hebrew all five verbs for counting each also mean aristocrat (count) or prominence, power, and prestige. Amazing Biblical coincidences. When you can effectively number something, you can effectively change it. Your weight, your bank balance, your number of friends, your charitable giving. Numbering everything is a key to success. Gradually grow in numerical literacy to the point youâll get to understand statistics, probability and calculus.

By far, the majority of people around you understand money as well as they understand magnetic resonance imaging. Which is to say, not much! As a not-very-successful fisherman in the cool, deep waters of British Columbia, I learned that you canât possibly put salmon on your grill without understanding salmon. Similarly, you canât put money in your bank without understanding money. And putting money in your bank is important. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge said, âThe chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.â Isnât that true for you? The spiritual nature of money and why the week should be five days long but isnât. Why secular fundamentalists equate economic prosperity with moral depravity. Why atheists usually see profit as plunder. Why no atheistic society has ever created a vibrant economy. How this can help you in your work.

Men are hardwired to want to make their wives happy. We genuinely are happier when our wives are happy. And we are miserable when our wives cry. The problem is that most of us men are pretty clueless as to how to make wives happy. And what makes it even harder is that wives never want to tell husbands how to make them happy. While not disparaging gifts, remembering important dates, and breakfast in bed, in this show we explore the other really important things that make wives happy. For maximum happiness, a newly married man should strive every day to be worthy of his wifeâs admiration. When can he finally relax and just be himself? When he dies! How building a beautiful bridge resembles building a beautiful marriageâand how it differs. A manâs body will always follow the logic of his deepest convictions; he will be attracted to the woman who reflects his noblest vision of himself.

Conservatives frequently misunderstand the battleground. They try to refute beliefs with facts. Wonât work! Never has; never will. Crusaders will always defeat accountants. Believers will always defeat policy wonks. The committed will always defeat the complacent. Remember when the Moors invaded Spain? Well, one afternoon in the year 720, a brave Catholic priest bravely confronted the Moslem mob saying, âWe should get together and hold a big symposium about the future of religious pluralism on the Iberian peninsula.â The Moslems removed his head, desecrated his church and converted it into a mosque. They then moved on to the next town where the same scenario was repeated. The religious believer doesnât engage in discussion and debate with heretics. The religious believer silences, suppresses, and if necessary, does away with the heretic. Nothing but unconditional surrender is acceptable in religious warfare. Compromise is anathema. In this show I prove all the above and clearly demonstrate that at the present time, America is not torn by political incivility but it is torn by a war between two opposing and incompatible (religious) belief systems. Which side wins will determine the future of your family, your community, your country, and possibly the world. And there is a way for conservatism to win; itâs all about putting the severed flower back on the rose bush.

I always thought that the fashion industry was just decadent, but apparently not. Clothing possesses a profoundly spiritual aspect. Most male birds like peacocks and cardinals are strikingly colorful while the female looks dull. However, last time I was at a charity banquet, the men were all bland and drab in black suits and white shirts while the women were resplendent in every color of the rainbow. Does the difference suggest something useful about male/female relationships? Is the Bible, manâs book about God, or Godâs book about mankind? How to make a squirrel hibernate in July. The most effective way to wake up in the morning. Making your subconscious work for you. Why last weekâs podcast was withdrawn. Why the euphemism of âsleepingâ with someone makes sense. What happens when we donât get enough sleep. Why God just hates unisex clothing.

Welcome to the church of Secular Fundamentalism. Many, and probably most American cities dump their carefully collected ârecyclablesâ into the local landfill! Thatâs right! After you laboriously separate your pizza boxes and beer cans from your papaya skins and T-Bone steak left-overs, after you arduously rinse out spaghetti sauce jars and baked bean cans, and after you religiously do all this and place each in its designated container, your city picks it up and dumps it all into exactly the same landfill into which they put your babyâs dirty diapers and the avocado pits from yesterdayâs guacamole. China is tired of being the trash dump for North America. âRecyclingâ is impossibly expensive and hopelessly uneconomical, in other words, if you did manufacture plastic or glass bottles out of trash produced by your city, nobody would purchase your products as theyâd cost so much more than freshly manufactured equivalents. How companies lie when they tell you their products contain 30% recycled material. The religion of Secular Fundamentalism has its saints and its sinners like most other religions. It should cost no more than $5/ month to get rid of your household trash; check your city bill now! Meanwhile, continue being forced to participate in the sacred sacraments of the official government religion of Secular Fundamentalism and genuflect in your kitchen before the blue cylindrical shaped idol that you piously feed with carefully selected tidbits.

If Americans in favor of abortion knew some truths about the abortion industry, would they change their minds? Is that fear causing suppression of the new Gosnell movie, âGosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killerâ? Kermit Gosnell was a cruel and callous murderer operating an abortion mill staffed by unqualified teenagers. Why wasnât he subject to the health inspections that even dentists and nail salons endure? How could he kill babies and adults in disgustingly filthy surroundings for so long? Susan joins me to discuss the movie and why, even if you donât want to, you should see it. We also talk about why women who starve themselves because they wrongly think they are fat, are appropriately treated medically, but men who think they are women are indulged. What does âtherefore choose lifeâ actually mean in the Bible. Does revoking Roe v. Wade make abortion illegal?

We're all fallible outside our areas of expertise, even famous heart-surgeons, and billionaires. The only way the government can give some people money is by first taking it from others. It does so by imposing confiscatory rates of taxation and by printing money. Why both activities leave you with less of your own money. Many intelligent and accomplished people who lack all wisdom have been predicting the end of work since 1801; tech advances will put millions out of work. Why they always have been wrong and always will be wrong.

Virtually all political debate, conflict, and hostility today is between the state religion of the American government and ruling classes, namely Secular Progressive Fundamentalism and the more conservative outlook springing from the Bible-based Judeo-Christian tradition. This religion, SPF, has also been embraced by the European Economic Union and by almost all universities and educational systems. They worship the small âgâ of government. On the other side is arrayed a loose alliance of citizens ranging from those who do not subscribe to any religion but resent the way that the Left forces its faith down their throats all the way to fervent Christian and Jewish Bible believers who turn to the big âGâ of God. The passage of time and events is making almost everyone become more fervent devotees of whatever side of the great cultural divide on which they have placed themselves. Secular Progressive Fundamentalism views the Biblically-based Judeo-Christian system as a terrible obstacle to progressive hegemony. I view it as quite vital for the survival of civilization. One of the most significant differences is that the SPF religion treats feelings as far more important than facts and the heart far more important than the head. Find out what I discover when asking people I meet, âWhere in the Bible do we find the verse, âAnd you shall surely follow your hearts!â? How SPF and itâs listen-to-your-heart doctrine can really harm your life.
