The argument of the Greeks and reason was the good is objective.

The goal of modern liberalism and the leftists is to get everything to be subjective because then it leads to openness.

Well, I think she's spot on, and if you'll notice, she's following one of the core tenets of Jesus that I mentioned, which is repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

You don't get it every which way, right?

Nietzsche came up with the concept of values, and the modern conception is your values, my values.

Let's just agree to disagree.

We're missing those these days.

Those two things are great guardrails for Western civilization.

They have to all fit together.

Unfortunately, today, when these teachers in the schools, and one thing, Megan, you know, she basically mentioned the seminaries, but K-12 education,

They're indoctrinated by these dangerous helpers called school counselors who all teach values, values clarification.

You're okay.
