Spencer, this is insane. You seriously believe it's consistent with being a respectable conservative or a Christian to make the same mistake others do and play into identity politics stereotypes of "whiteness" or such? Stigmatize immigration and immigrants? That's playing the same identity politics game and engaging opponents on the same ground with their same premises. This is a hair's breadth from white supremacy and only entrenches the tribalism and enmity that are the real problem.

WOW!! This is a masterpiece!! I encourage fellow Iranians to read this text carefully, there's just so much we can relate to and it's not honestly all that surprising since the Islamic "republic" ( what a joke!) occupying Iran has been said to have been copying the soviet ways... Also, this channel has become my #1 favorite. I'm constantly learning from it. "There was a time when we dared not rustle a whisper. But now we write and read samizdat and, congregating in the smoking rooms of research institutes, heartily complain to each other of all they are muddling up, of all they are dragging us into! There’s that unnecessary bravado around our ventures into space, against the backdrop of ruin and poverty at home; and the buttressing of distant savage regimes; and the kindling of civil wars; and the ill-thought-out cultivation of Mao Zedong (at our expense to boot)—in the end we’ll be the ones sent out against him, and we’ll have to go, what other option will there be? And they put whome

I pray the West can't be canceled and the current denial of reality ends soon.

the song Du hast does not mean you hate me. the main lyric is Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt. This mean "you have asked me and I have said nothing" the next line is Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Treu ihr sein für alle tage "do you want until death do you part be true to her for all your days"

Great episode on how to know when to defy the laws of humans, when they contradict the laws of God. The laws of our own convictions.

wanted to like this, but found myself increasingly annoyed with political preaching and factual inaccuracies (ie, at the time that The Persians was written the Greeks had not "conquered" the Persians as asserted- therefore the major argument, that the Greeks showed some unique sympathy for conquered peoples is entirely silly). Much better content available without the blinkered viewpoint.

okay chief just because you listen to and analyze classical music doesn't mean you can get the authority to s*** on someone elses creativity and art. your opinion man is like yours and not always correct man, get your head on crucked.

I'm thrilled to find Young Heretics. Unlike many podcasts that I listen to while multi-tasking I sit, focus,and think. Thank you for the reminder to enjoy a reflective moment.
