I'm hanging it up. Time to move on to better uses of my energy. Thank you to all those that have contributed to this show! It's been fun!

I'll be taking the show down in the coming weeks. For those that would like to maintain access to the episodes, I'm linking them to this Google doc.

In this episode, I lay it all out: my frustrations, my cynicism, and the undeniable threat posed by Donald Trump’s presidency to the principles of liberal democracy. I vent about the American electorate’s choice and examine how voting without a true commitment to the ideals of the Constitution has led us to this moment. This is a candid reflection on the dangers of uninformed voting, the troubling attitude of “voting by vibe,” and the moral responsibility we each have to uphold the values of a liberal society. Warning: this is tough talk. I unpack why this election represents more than just political differences—it’s evidence of our moral failings, collective disdain for critical thinking, and our apathy toward liberal democracy.

In this episode, I continue my analysis of a common epistemic framework found in religious beliefs, specifically the LDS tradition.

Popular LDS speaker and author, S. Michael Wilcox, recently joined the Follow Him podcast to discuss The Book of Mormon's epistemic philosophy found in Alma chapter 32. I analyze the validity of his model, argue why it cannot determine absolute or universal truth, and discuss why I believe it is antithetical to pluralism and tolerance.

Briggs joins us to discuss important topics like The Legend of Zelda, The Hobbit, and Minecraft. He and Justin discuss the lessons we can learn about critical thinking from the favorite games & stories of a kid.

In celebration of Tolkien Reading Day (March 25th - the day that Frodo destroyed the ring) I'm reading my favorite bit of Tolkien's writing: The Voice of Saruman.
