SINS OF THE FATHER PART 3 NOVEMBER 06, 2022      AARON SMITH      SEASON 1      EPISODE 39 SHOW NOTES:Today, Episode 39, is the last installment of this three-part series, though it won't be the last time we address the topic of eugenics. I'm quite capable of maintaining dispassionate objectivity about certain subjects, but I suppose we all have our kryptonite—and eugenics is mine. I ask you once again to consider the syllogism I proposed in Part 1 of this series.

WHO ARE YOU? SEPTEMBER 18, 2022      AARON SMITH      SEASON 1      EPISODE 35 SHOW NOTES:Today, in Episode 35, we take a closer look at the concept of identity and the mechanisms by which we define who we are. How do we determine not only who we are but also who we ought to be? I believe the essence of who we are is a reflection of who we believe we ought to be. The distance between the "are" and the "ought" can have an enormous influence on our mental, physical, and spiritual health. In fact, that distance is a constant tension that some of us battle with all of our lives.Feel free to email me at subtlecain@protonmail.com with any questions or suggestions.
