“We’re in this moment in which the culture is on the edge of a precipice. And people from all walks of life and different metaphysical views are all seeing part of that picture and seeing where we’re going, and trying to figure out: okay, what do we do here? We’ve all been on this train going 120 miles an hour, we see it’s about to go off a ravine. We’re all getting off on this last train station, and we’re all very different and trying to figure out how to work together.” In this episode, I sit down with Jay Richards, an author, philosopher, and professor. He is the director of the DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family and the William E. Simon senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He is the co-author of “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War.” “To queer something is to destabilize and de-center it. So, the point of queer theory is to destabilize and decenter our categories of sexual reality, which include—of course—male and female. But they also include, by the way, adult and child. Those are contested in queer theory,” says Mr. Richards. We dive into the dangers of gender ideology and comprehensive sex education. “For most of us, our minds are not adapted to the speed in which information can be transmitted now in 2024,” says Mr. Richards. We also reflect on the separation of church and state, and the various definitions of the popular phrase “Christian nationalism.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
