Watch The Extended Uncensored Version Of this Episode in The True North Movement https://www.patrickcoffin.media/the-true-north-movement/ Host Patrick Coffin sits down with Professor Eric Kaufmann, a leading expert on demographics and politics, to explore the sometimes sudden shifts in global population trends and their implications for religion, culture, and society. The conversation delves into the role of religion in shaping demographics, examining how fertility rates and religious adherence intersect and cause each other. They also discuss the influence of contraception on population growth and societal values. A key focus of the conversation is the origins and meaning of "woke" ideology. Professor Kaufmann traces its roots to postmodern thought and explains how it became a dominant cultural force in the West, and how it has been weakened by real life. Together, these Canadian born ex-pats analyze the impact of this ideology on identity politics and public discourse, raising critical questions about the future of free speech in academic settings. This thought-provoking conversation provides listeners with a deep understanding of today's most pressing social and political issues.
