Dr. J. Budziszewski

So who knows?

It would be interesting to go back in a time machine.

I've often had time machines.

What if I could bring James Madison back to talk to my classes on the founding generation?

What if I could bring Aristotle back and have him talk to my ethics class?

What if I could have Nietzsche back and have him talk to a group of women wearing vagina hats?

How would he react?

I don't know.

Thanks for being on the show.

Thanks for coming in.

Well, I wrote it for people who are seriously wondering, am I crazy or is it the people around me?

They all seem crazy to me, but does that mean there's something wrong with me?

I wrote it for people who, like me, were in it but maybe beginning to think about getting out of it.

For people who maybe have one foot in the snare and are thinking about pulling that foot out.

For people who are feeling the gravitational attraction of some of these forms of lunacy.

You know, we've talked about sex.

Most of the book is not about sex.

but who are feeling the gravitational pull of a lot of these forms of lunacy and are concerned about that.

I wrote it for people who maybe are thinking sort of sanely themselves, but don't know how to actually give a defense of that.

How to give a defense of common sense or reconnect with their common sense or elevate their common sense.
