What happens when the pursuit of power replaces self-governance, reason, and individual responsibility?On this episode of Why Are We Here on Earth, T.A. examines the evolution of American government and argues that the country has moved far from the principles envisioned by its founders. He explores the role of political parties, elections, the expanding power of government, and what he believes has happened to the original structure of American self-governance.T.A. connects these ideas to a larger discussion about freedom, responsibility, fear, and human nature. He argues that freedom requires individuals to take responsibility for their choices rather than surrendering that responsibility to those who promise protection or authority.The conversation then moves into the relationship between Christianity, religion, science, and the search for truth. T.A. distinguishes between following Christ and following organized religion, and explores his belief that the original Christian ethic was intended to help people develop a different way of making decisions. He also discusses the historical relationship between religious institutions, scientific discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge.From the Founding Fathers and the Constitution to modern politics, socialism, religion, and the nature of evil, T.A. challenges listeners to question the systems and beliefs they have inherited—and to think for themselves.This is a wide-ranging episode about freedom, power, reason, faith, government, and what it means to be fully human.
This week on Why Are We Here on Earth, host TA explores humanity's urgent need to develop new methods of self-governance for the 21st century and beyond. Drawing connections between Genesis, the story of the Tree of Life, and the dual nature of human consciousness — the fear-driven "animal" side versus the spiritual side — TA argues that unchecked fear has historically fueled conflict, control, and division. The episode traces this tension through biblical history, the Assyrian King's List, and the founding principles of American democracy, ultimately calling for a return to a governance model rooted in a chief executive accountable to God, representatives accountable to the people, and citizens guided by logic, reason, and wisdom.
TA opens the show's three big questions — who are we, what are we, why are we here — and argues we've forgotten we're all on the same journey toward a shared purpose. He walks through how the Israelites' covenant with God became the model for America's founders: a chief executive, representative advisors, and judges, all ultimately answerable to God. Along the way, TA unpacks Jeremiah's potter-and-clay parable, the idea of an "objective decision-making matrix" built on logic, reason, and wisdom, and why he believes it's time to restructure our institutions using the same foundation the founders started with.
In this episode of Why Are We Here on Earth, host T.A. continues the ongoing exploration of humanity's purpose, examining how the founding structure of the United States government has drifted from its original design. Drawing on the Federalist Papers, biblical parallels, and the concept of "objective versus subjective" decision-making, T.A. lays out a vision for recommitting to the character and integrity the Founding Fathers expected of public officials. The episode covers ideas around civic responsibility, the role of wisdom and reason in leadership, and what it might take to rebuild public trust in government institutions from the ground up.
Free will is something you're born with, but if you cannot see options, what good is it to you? You are born making ONLY Subjective decisions! If you learn to use the Objective decision making tool, you break the stranglehold that Evil has on you. Don't let Desire and social programming bully you into compliance. Choose for yourself rather than accepting the option handed to you. Be open to what's available to you, and vet it using biblical principles.TA
