Didactic Mind, Ep 80: The Mind Flayer

In this week’s podcast, I talk a bit more about the hive-mind nature of evil, the ways in which evil seeks to control us, and the manner in which the work of Dr. Michael Heiser can help us to explain and understand the motive force behind the madness we see in...

Didactic Mind, Ep 77: The Forge of Vulcan

Today I wax philosophical again about the nature of our tests and the reasons why we are tested to, and often beyond, our breaking points. I go through Biblical prophets from the Old Testament and examine how they were tested and broken, in order to do what God needed...

Build your brothers up

Friends, you don’t need me to tell you that these are very dark, very strange, and very dangerous times. The world is an extraordinarily messed-up place, and it appears to be getting worse every single day. The Western world, in particular, appears to be...

Didactic Mind, Ep 76: War Games

This week’s episode is all about game theory and its profound and powerful application to politics. I use the lens of game-theoretic understanding to provide insights into why the Right keeps losing against the Left. As I point out in the podcast, the reason is...
