    They should play this at the beginning of every lecture in every economics, regulatory, law, marketing, finance, basket-weaving, gender studies class on every college campus, in all of the US ad infinitum. Unfortunately, we are raising generations of children who a) remain children well into adulthood, and b) think the fix for every perceived injustice is government regulation and more laws. What a blessing to have your voice in the midst of this insanity.

    These short episodes are dense; a bit like a Tabata workout. Hang on to your vocabulary and don’t multitask. Grateful for someone who can articulate worldview, first principles and Christian ethics.

  • Bring back the old format

    I don’t like the changes to this podcast. The hour long interview format was a lot more interesting and insightful, especially with guests he took exception with. I certainly don’t agree with David Bahnsen on everything but enjoyed the show for his knowledge and intellect. Now the show is just a soapbox for him to complain for about 10-12 minutes. Boring.

    you can be more miserably wrong regarding rfk and the maha movement

    there are plenty of specifics !

    it is about accountability not creating big pharmaceutical as an oppressor at all. also your example of ketruda while ignoring other obvious malfeasance of pharmaceutical companies is pathetic

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 173: Getting Based with Work
Q: Do you think the conference, do you think the subject, do you think you're the passion you feel for it is largely driven by a message you'd like to see the church get on with, you want an antidote to laziness, is it a kind of personal character issue or do you think there's something more broadly economic at play?
It's a mix of wanting to drive home a message to the church about work and the dignity found in it, while also acknowledging broader economic challenges.
Episode 169: Déjà vu and Demography
Q: What is the general takeaway of this piece that you wrote in late March?
