Rangers in the Wild: TLC, Midwest Estuary, and a Catholic Conversion — @Neal_Daedalus
Description
Neil Daedalus joins me to trace a journey from Jordan Peterson’s Genesis lectures and Sam Harris debates, through Jung, grief, and a searing encounter at Mass, to entering the Catholic Church. We get into Babylon 5’s “Rangers” as a living metaphor for TLC, why Gen Z’s arena feels more political than personal, video games as training-grounds for agency, resentment/journaling as shadow work, and why grace (not optimization) breaks the frame. Along the way: PVK, Midwest Estuary, Jordan Hall, Mary Harrington, and the uneasy dance between individuation and personhood.
