"So again, how where do people stand on the vaccine on the COVID panic and on January 6th, those are the three litmus tests, the three ways to know if someone is completely utterly worthless, like David French and Russell Moore, or whether there's enough DNA in them to maybe make a complete human being down the road. Well, we're living in crazy times. I just want to say folks, this is an opportunity for every single one of us to sober up and to do the right thing or to be counted among the guilty who are allowing these things to happen and causing other people to suffer. There's a way down how come it told you that you wanted. Folks I continue with John's mirac, we may get Kevin McCullough, vote stra damas on in hour two. For a little bit, John, let's just keep going. What do we, I just feel that the indictment of Trump is a moment where people have to choose either I will finally do something. Get off my butt, do something. If it's only to leave the useless church that you are attending, there are a million things we can do. I tell people, you can tell people to spread these shows. Take your articles on the Internet, share them. I just told people, you've got to order yoni parks book in order to live. You've got to order it, make young people read. If you want to know what to do, do these things, folks. Because they will help you see what the next thing is. John, go ahead. Sign up to become a poll watcher or precinct captain. Steve Bannon show war room has suggestions like this every day. On what you can do to fight vote fraud to defend the Second Amendment to fight against abortion to fight against the transgender lobby trying to groom children in your public school. Join the group mass resistance. It's in 50 states. It's so effective at fighting this disgusting satanic agenda that they won't even let them have a booth at cpac. It's the log cabin Republicans don't approve of them. So if you're too sound for cpac, you're my kind of organization. I was gonna say, well, cpac is probably dead at this point for many reasons. We don't need to go into. John, you wrote an article, what is the title of this article that I want to talk about? Okay, it's called my pronoun is legion. Satan and the Nashville church massacre. Okay. Your article, my pronoun is legion. It's at stream dot org. Right. You write a lot of great stuff. This is without any question one of the best things you've ever written. My pronoun is legion. It's theologically brilliant. It is fundamentally important because it helps us to process the health through which we are all going right now. So here's my theory. So the title is my pronoun is leading to folks. You need it. Google it, my pronoun is legion and share it everywhere you can. Go ahead. Almost 30,000 people have read it in three days. So clearly I hit a nerve. My theory is that you shouldn't be too confused when the Democrats talk about transgenderism and what they say doesn't make any sense. Because nothing about it is scientific or psychological or even political or ideological. It is demonic. The transgender is an is the fruit of people who are possessed by the devil. The first such person was the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis de Sade wrote in the 18th century, he was a wealthy aristocrat who liked to torture impoverished women for fun. Somehow, French intellectuals managed to make a hero of this man. The Marquis de Sade's books, he was the first pro choice philosopher in history. His arguments for making abortion legal were the ones that John Paul Sartre and Simone de beauvoir picked up. They mainstreamed it into second wave feminism and pretty soon people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg were repeating his arguments without even knowing where they came from. She didn't know when she said that women needed to have the right to abortion for the sake of bodily autonomy and to achieve true equality with men. Those are both straight from philosophy in the bedroom by the psychopathic torture of the Marquis de Sade. So that's what we're dealing with. This is what we're dealing with folks..

"John's mirror. John, you were just talking about how everybody knew and everybody knows that abortion is wrong. And the Marquis de Sade, one of the most genuinely wicked human beings in history, of whom we have a record. He was dramatically pro abortion. Are we surprised? He argued that women needed abortion so that they could be equally as depraved and detached from the consequences of sex as men. So if women wanted to be happy libertines, the way he considered himself to pursue pleasure at all other costs, regardless of childbearing the needs of the future, the needs of other people, he regarded the ego. And it's a certain of its will. To the only good. The Marquis de Sade considered themselves the liberator of mankind. He was going to free us from Christian morale. Free us from having to care about other people. He was going to free the strong from having to care about the week. Remember, this is someone who for his own sexual amusement would kidnap and torture prostitutes. That's why he ended up in prison. People today pretend that he was imprisoned for his ideas. He was imprisoned as a violent film as a sick, aristocrat, who used his money and power to prey on poor helpless women who were otherwise starving and to physically torture them for his own amusement. His ideas were as close to pure evil as we can imagine. He advocated incest, child rape, child murder. But in his quest to advance pleasure and to free people from Christian morality, he said abortion should be legal. Abortion should be accepted. Abortion is fine. It is the only way for women to be a sexually furry as meant to have the same ability to walk away from the results of their activity to sleep with strangers and walk away. The only way you could do that, that women could be as free as men would be to have abortion widely available. Most people were horrified by this, even the leaders of the French Revolution considered de Sato, a dangerous lunatic. His ideas were revived in the 20th century by Simone de beauvoir. The common law wife with John Paul Sartre. She actually published a book in defense of the Marquis de Sade called must we burn. Must we burn his books? This pretense that she was just speaking up for freedom. But if freedom of the press, but in fact, her book is a defense and a promotion of his ideas and in her book the second sex, she takes decides argument without giving him credit and says that abortion must be legal so that women can be libertines just like men. And she signed with great petition in France that led to its legal proportions, legalization there. So the pro choice movement, via Simone de beauvoir, goes straight back to the satanic rituals and torture fantasies of the Marquis de Sade. It is a direct election. Yes, let's connect the dots here, folks. If you care about women, decide a powerful, wealthy man used his power and his money to torture poor women who had fallen into prostitution. It doesn't get more obviously evil. And this is the man who was arguing for abortion and let's go to Simon de beauvoir in my book is atheism dead. I talk about at the end of his life, Jean-Paul Sartre comes to faith and what's amazing is that Simon de beauvoir was outraged, utterly outraged. You start seeing that there is a satanic animus behind these things. This is not simply like, oh, I'm for free love. There's something deeper and she was so offended. She was absolutely outraged and betrayed that this man who comes to his senses at the end of his life. That he would dare even to voice what he's thinking, that he would be a free thinker. She felt betrayed by him. That's kind of where we are, folks. We're getting clarity here. We're getting spiritual clarity on what is behind some of these things. That's right. And we have to remember that just Jean-Paul Sartre's argument against the existence of God was not a rational. It was not that there wasn't evidence for it. It was not that the arguments didn't point to it. He essentially said, it's intolerable for there to be a God. And for us not to be him. In other words, the human will can not stand the idea of having an omnipotent master. So we must reject him so that we can feel omnipotent in ourselves, which is to serve in heaven. I mean, it's that satanic ego. It is at the very heart of its human pride, which goes all the way back to Eden. It is so dark. It is so evil. That's what we're talking about. In case you're scoring at home, that's right. And that's what we're facing here. One of the two political parties in America. I mean, political parties in America is the party of the Marquis de sa. It's the party of Sartre. It's the party of Margaret Sanger. It's the party of killing the innocent for the sake of our sexual convenience, but really for the sake of our own sense of omnipotence, our own sense of absolute sovereignty over ourselves. And one of the things that helped suppose this, the same people who think a woman should be able to abort her 8 month fetus and insist that even if it survived the abortion that the doctor kill it, because her bodily sovereignty is that absolute. Those same people didn't want to give that woman a choice of our whether or not to have the COVID vaccine. It is madness..

"Now, in the absence of a slam strategic framework and an Islamic normative reference in Islamic intellectual framework, then it is only inevitable in the absence of these frameworks that instead of engaging with the left and the right, we're going to be subordinated to the left and the right. Again, because there is no vision. There is no point of reference. There's no frame of reference and so forth. So I think part of HD had she had that we need today is to begin to think about, okay, what is the identity structure of Islam? What are the commitments of the Muslim? What are the policy preferences? And what are the strategic preferences of the Muslim? And I think if she had, you know, is literally part and parcel part of this process of identifying those commitments and identifying what is strategically in favorable to the Muslim world. Is there anything in closing that you wanted to discuss that we didn't talk yet on this show? Regarding yes, of course, this article is there something that because I really, really want people to read it. After having this backdrop, but this is a really, really, really important article. I think for Muslim, just to understand where they are, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you don't know that the very framework that we're operating from is not going to bring us any type of progress or what type of progress and what is progress, right? I think essentially what also you're referring to in here is a certain type. Everyone has this need to progress, right? Exactly. So I think one of the key things that we need to reclaim a key, a key. Fact about what it means to be a Muslim, right? Or more so, what it means to be a human being. So human beings are distinguished from other beings because they have the capacity of choice. They have the capacity to choose. So John Paul Sartre, who is a French existentialist when the Germans invaded Paris, he came out with an article which.

So you're looking for a funny business podcast? Well, some of them try to be funny. They're just not funny, which is a problem. I think I have the answer for you.

IP frequently solid business advice that leans right conservative comes with 80s music and current events. They're calling it the unicorn of business podcasts. Is that a good thing?

There are also calling it the Holy Grail of business podcasts subscribe to IP frequently and stay up to date on their weekly stream of episodes wherever you get your podcasts, go to IP frequently dot com. That's IP frequently dot com. Folks. Wow. Today's the day my book launches you can get a very, very inexpensive copy at our website airport access dot com. You have to scroll down to one of the links on the book page. Alvin, you've been interviewing me about the book, so have at it. This is going to be on the other side. Yeah, I just want to finish up with John Paul Sartre. Believe it or not, The New York Times obit was said this. John Paul Sartre finds the exit. That's a joke. That was a joke. I was so hoping that the times had actually said something about this. Well, people may not get the joke. He wrote a book called no exit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Oh, and okay, now dovetailing off of all that. I really like this in the book. You talk about deathbed confessions. And you say they're not out of desperation. They're out of something else. Do you remember what you say in the book? Yeah. You actually well, people like Chris for Hitchens who passed away a number of years ago, very typically viciously characterized deathbed conversions as, you know, just moments of desperation, fearful desperation. And they're always characterized negatively. And I said, well, look, maybe that is true. But the opposite is also true. And you've seen this time and time again. When someone is dying, they often don't care what other people think. They're not afraid of what somebody is going to say at a cocktail party. They're able to look for the first time with perfect clarity and honesty at what they see. And people don't often talk about that. That sometimes you see the true person when they're facing death. It was probably the great doctor Johnson who said that, you know, the prospect of death focuses a man's mind, I can't remember I'm paraphrasing. But there is just something about that that when you're suffering or when you're actually facing death, you're very inclined to be more focused on these things. You can't bat them away. They don't leave your field of consciousness, so to speak, you're thinking about them all the time. And I think you have many cases of people who, as they approach death, they're forced to get serious. They realize I can't play games anymore. And so they do come into the church, ask for forgiveness. That's really serious. And that's another thing that's simply needs to be said that the lie promulgated by people like Christopher Hitchens that the deathbed conversions are all by definition nonsense. That is itself nonsense. And I think one of the reasons I go so hard after Hitchens and Dawkins is that they pushed powerful untruths over and over and over. It was nasty. It was intellectually dishonest. And when you, when you keep talking about faith is the precinct of people who don't aren't interested in logic. In fact, and reason. And then you yourself are promoting lies and using sophistry and really juvenile forensic tactics. You know, just to get the audience on your side and not really being yourself honest, you have to be called out on that. And I was, as I've said it many times, stunned by how bad, particularly Hitchens and Dawkins are as philosophers. I mean, it's just staggering. It's like they simply didn't care and they had a great incentive just to get laughs to get applause to get people on their side. They're preaching to the choir of people like them who had perhaps been stung by religion in a way that made them have a particular animus against it. So I just thought it needed thing. Yeah, and it doesn't hurt book sales either if you continue to oh well, that's the whole thing. They sold zillions of books and I was reading their books. I thought, this stuff is horrible, unless you want to believe it, and then you're just going to yeah, sometimes people just believe what they want to believe, not what the facts tell. We would never do that, but I.

"Welcome to the Eric metaxas show with your host. Eric taxes. Alvin, I find myself in Wichita, Kansas. I don't know how this happened, but I'm here. Here's the issue because because it's the launch date today, Tuesday for my new book. I probably never mentioned it. It's called is atheism dead? Yes. And it's a handsome book. It's 400 and something pages, color photos, and you can get it for 45% off. If you go to my website, Eric metaxas dot com scroll down, this is very limited. I don't know how they can do 45% off. I'm not joking. I don't care where you order it from, by the way, but I'm just letting you know. But because today is the launch date, you thought you could interview me about the book. Now, we did that an hour one. We recorded that a couple of days ago. But of course, we didn't scratch the surface. There's so much bizarre stuff in this book. I'm so excited about it that I can't shut up and I apologize. But let me just ask you one of you ask me, you don't even have to ask me questions. You can just comment on what you've read because you've had a lot of interesting observations and I was thrilled as the author to hear you respond to it. No, no, it's just been tremendous. I was reading it on the train in and out of the studio. And then, of course, you went on your book tour. You've just started it basically and today is the big day. By the way, here's what it usually I have a candle in a cupcake and I say congratulation, happy new book, who you happy to. But this one has a black cover. It's about, well, death is atheism dead, and it's kind of rhetorical when you ask the question. It's about life. Yeah. It's about death is dead, then it is life that is alive. But that's a lot. Go ahead. Go ahead. Now, John smear and others have actually brought this out. It's really written in three parts. There's the scientific part about whether you should believe in God or not. And science is continually proving the existence of God, not just like, eh, maybe some nefarious. No, there's a loving God who is a designer and designed this place that we live. Then there's biblical archeology that continually proves that the Old Testament and New Testament. These are not just stories. These are true accounts of what happened in the past. So that proves the God of the Bible, belief in a God of a Bible of the Bible who's a designer and a loving God. And then the last part is just delightful because it's about a previous atheist like Camus and John Paul Sartre and how they came to faith at the end of their lives. And that's incredible because they looked at the evidence and they were open minded. And you said, at the end of the book, and this will be my opening question to you. You said that you can no longer because of the evidence be an atheist, but it's still okay to be an agnostic. So what is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic? I think an atheist is a person that really, for them, it's a philosophy. In other words, they say there is no God and they take this stance against God and they claim that that has to do with reason and their pro reason and anti faith. All of that falls apart when you look at it. It doesn't make sense. It's just kind of an angry, it's like a tattoo. It's like, hey mom, dad, I'm my own man now. I think at some point, you have to go through that. And to the other side and see that even if you don't like people of faith or you don't like what the Bible says, you can be an agnostic and say I have questions. It refers to knowledge, agnostic is to be, without knowledge, to still have questions. I'm not sure, that to me seems respectable and yet what we call atheism, which says I know there's no God or I'm pretty sure there's no gut. I don't think in this day and age, it can make sense. If you look at the evidence, if you don't look at the evidence, I mean, if you read this book, I don't see how you come out an atheist. You may still say, well, I don't like the writer. He's an idiot. I find a lot of stuff in here tenuous. Great. It's a free country. You can think what you like, but to say there's no God once you read the scientific evidence. And by the way, have we played the hue Ross hour yet? We have he's coming up this week. Our office is coming up. You Ross. Says, and this is true. In other words, in my book, I talk about all the evidence coming out from science that makes it less and less possible to fathom that the universe just arose randomly, right? Hugh Ross says, practically every day, every month, more evidence is coming out. And he's on top of this. If you go to reasons to believe, which is his magnificent ministry organization, wow. But he says, it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse. If you are clinging to some idea that science is going to prove there's no God, the opposite has been happening for decades and it's accelerating. So I just think we have to be honest and it gets to the end of the book. I talk about what I call the founding myth of atheism. This battle between Galileo and the church, which when you read that chapter, you realize, that itself is a lie, the way it's been presented is essentially not true. But the bigger issue is that Galileo was a profound Christian who believed that with the scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God. In other words that whatever you study in the heavens or on this earth, it's going to declare the magnificence of the God who created it. And so he's looking through his telescope, he sees, for example, the big issue was that, oh, the planets and the sun are not revolving around the earth. On the contrary, it is we unearth who are traveling around the sun. And he said to people, take a look to the telescope. Don't take my word for it. Look through the telescope. Look at the evidence dare to look at the evidence. Yeah. And people refuse to look through the telescope. And he joked about it at one point, but I feel like people are so dug in. Yeah. Excuse me, people are so dug in. They don't even want to look at the evidence. They just batted away. And I think, well, that's the thing. You're just asking people to keep an open mind. Just keep your mind open to what we're going to present here. That's what you can't prove God on in other words, God himself has to touch a person's heart. So there's a great mystery there. But you can try to understand the fact. It's kind of like if you study math, or science or history, you just want to know what is. And I think people can become so entrenched that they don't want to know what is. They don't want to know the truth of the facts. That's bad. So I want to say to people, I try in the book to present it as fair mindedly as possible. I've discovered three or 5 ridiculous typos, which we have to change. I think I say something crazy like the diameter of Jupiter is 900,000 miles across. It's 90,000 miles across. I think I say something that Pluto has no moons, technically, that's not true. There's a couple of things like that in there, but we're going to fix them in the second duration. But none of that will affect the basics as you'll see. But I say that just so that, you know, when you're rushing a book to print, you miss stuff like this, but I just think the evidence is so overwhelming that I want at least people of faith to acquaint themselves with these facts because it is. It's overwhelming and almost nobody knows this. So I'm a popularizer. I put this stuff in a book to make it easy for your average reader, you know, you don't have to read the books that I read, but you can at least grasp the basics. And I'm telling you, we're living in exciting times right now. This is very exciting that this knowledge has not been known on a popular level. Yeah, you know what? And I don't think this is in the book. I haven't gotten to everything. I'm a few pages from the end believe it or not, but John Paul Sartre, his dying words, apparently recorded by a guy named Pierre Victor. He said this. This is amazing from SARS. He said, I do not feel that I am a product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected prepared prefigured, in short of being whom only a creator could put here and this idea of a creating hand refers to God. And that's amazing. Those weren't his dying words, but they were near when he was near death. And he wanted to write this down to make it clear. Yes. That this wasn't the doddering ravings of an old man, but that he had thought this through. But it's more dramatic than I even remembered. When you just read it right now, I thought, that's Jean-Paul Sartre. Yes. Like the idea that he who was this arch atheist philosopher that he wrote this and it made his atheist Friends very angry. Oh,.

They sell the three week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck shoulder back, hip or knee pain, 1995, about $1 a day.

And then the last part is just delightful because it's about a previous previous atheist like Camus and John Paul Sartre and how they came to faith at the end of their lives. And that's incredible because they looked at the evidence and they were open minded. And you said, at the end of the book, and this will be my opening question to you. You said that you can no longer because of the evidence be an atheist, but it's still okay to be an agnostic. So what is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic? I think an atheist is a person that really, for them, it's a philosophy. In other words, they say there is no God and they take this stance against God and they claim that that has to do with reason and their pro reason and anti faith. All of that falls apart when you look at it. It doesn't make sense. It's just kind of an angry. It's like a tattoo. It's like, hey, mom, dad. I'm my own man now. I think at some point, you have to go through that. And to the other side and see that even if you don't like people of faith or you don't like what the Bible says, you can be an agnostic and say I have questions. I mean, also, you know, it refers to knowledge, agnostic is to be without knowledge to still have questions. I'm not sure that to me seems respectable and yet what we call atheism, which says, I know there's no God or I'm pretty sure there's no gut. I don't think in this day and age, it can make sense. If you look at the evidence, if you don't look at the evidence, I mean, if you read this book, I don't see how you come out in atheist. You may still say, well, I don't like the writer. He's an idiot. I find a lot of stuff in here tenuous. Great. It's a free country. You can think what you like, but to say there's no God once you read the scientific evidence. And by the way, have we played the Hugh Ross hour yet? We have he's coming up this week. Ross is coming up. You Ross. Yeah. Says, and this is true. In other words, in my book, I talk about all the evidence coming out from science that makes it less and less possible to fathom that the universe just arose randomly, right? Hugh Ross says practically every day, every month, more evidence is coming out. And he's on top of this. If you go to reasons to believe, which is his magnificent ministry organization, wow. But he says it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse. If you are clinging to some idea that science is going to prove there's no God. The opposite has been happening for decades and it's accelerating. So I just think we have to be honest, and it gets to the end of the book. I talk about what I call the founding myth of atheism. This battle between Galileo and the church, which when you read that chapter, you realize, that itself is a lie. The way it's been presented is essentially not true. But the bigger issue is that Galileo was a profound Christian who believed that with the scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God. In other words that whatever you study in the heavens or on this earth, it's going to declare the magnificence of the God who created it. And so he's looking through his telescope, he sees, for example, the big issue was that, the planets and the sun are not revolving around the earth on the contrary. It is we unearth who are traveling around the sun. And he said to people, take a look through the telescope. Don't take my word.

And you can get it for 45% off. If you go to my website, Eric metaxas dot com scroll down, this is very limited. I don't know how they can do 45% off. I'm not joking. I don't care where you order it from, by the way, but I'm just letting you know. But because today is the launch date, you thought you could interview me about the book. Now we did that an hour one. We recorded that a couple of days ago. But of course we didn't scratch the surface. There's so much bizarre stuff in this book. I'm so excited about it that I can't shut up and I apologize. But let me just ask you, why don't you ask me, you don't even have to ask me a question. You can just comment on what you've read. Because you've had a lot of interesting observations and I was thrilled as the author to hear you respond to it. No, no, it's just been tremendous. I was reading it on the train in and out of the studio. And then, of course, you went on your book tour. You've just started it basically and today is the big day. By the way, here's what usually I have a candle in a cupcake and I say congratulation, happy new book to you. Happy to. But this one has a black cover. It's about well death is atheism dead and it's kind of rhetorical when you ask the question. It's about life. Yeah, it's about death is dead, then it is life that is a lie. But that's another story. Go ahead. Go ahead. Now, John smear and others have actually brought this out. It's really written in three parts. There's the scientific part about whether you should believe in God or not. And science is continually proving the existence of God, not just like, eh, maybe some nefarious. No, there's a loving God who is a designer and designed this place that we live. Okay, then there's biblical archeology that continually proves that the Old Testament and New Testament. These are not just stories. These are true accounts of what happened in the past.

I'm teaching a course on existentialism. Right now you are. I am yeah existentialism in literature and film which is fun I made the traditional thing to say. About what extra centralism is is that it's a movement in mid twentieth century. Mostly french some german philosophy and some of the major figures associated with it are people John paul sartre and camus Samondo beauvoir maybe martin heidegger. But that's a weird thing to say about it because most of those people denied that they were existential and And in fact. I i think it has a Movement that has a much longer history. So when i tried to describe what the core idea of existential is. It's an idea that you find expressed in different ways in a bunch of these people. One of the ways that expressed is that sartre will say that. Existentialism is the view that there is no god and least his form of existential ism. He calls it atheist existential essentials. There is no god and since there's no god there must be some other being around. Who does something like what god does. Otherwise there wouldn't be any possibility for significance in a life and not being as us and the feature of us according to sort and the other existential that puts us in a position to be able to play.

You better stay healthy. I don't get what you need to because you've got a lot to you. You've got a lot of books to write. What you just mentioned The when i was writing this book one of the most astounding things to me was discovering that the two leading atheists of the twentieth century. John paul sartre albert camus came to faith at the end of their lives. I i said how is it possible that nobody knows this. I mean it's kinda crazy. And when i discovered i thought this i mean this happens a lot of times. I'll find something when. I'm writing a book and i think how did it get to be me that found this because this is i didn't have to dig for decades to discover this. I just happened to find a book. And i read it and i think wait a minute. This is real on. I do more research and you find out. It's true but to the biggest atheists of the twentieth century jump all start in alberta mu. They look into the abyss. The bleakness of atheism harder than anyone and at the end it was untenable. They couldn't handle it they said doesn't make sense. Both of them turned to god and camus camus was practically begging a priest to baptize him and it was a mainline protestant precent. He was kind of like mad. Have been baptized. That was fine. No he add been but he wanted to make an official restatement right and the priest was was. I think a prisoner in word but he was like well. I don't know.

"Cold war if you follow him and he's a professor at harvard and a staff writer at the new yorker. It's been obvious for some time. Now that he's been working on something big related to the cold war and his new book is very big. We're talking almost a thousand pages. Big it covers a lot of people you think you might know. Well like george orwell. John paul sartre susan santiago allen ginsberg and a number of art and intellectual movements like post structuralism and pop art. That you will know better when you finish the book. I am so thrilled. That louisianan door luke to everyone who knows him had some time to talk with me about art in thought in the free world. Interestingly turns out. Luke also read francis donor. Saunders book back when it came out i was thought it was very impressive and so when i started thinking about writing my own book about it and actually imagine that it would deal with the cia and covert funding in the sort of cultural diplomacy Aspect of the period. Which as you say have been a lot of books about. And and honestly i got into it. I began to think. There's just not much there. I just found that it didn't it. Didn't pan out And so then. I realized that that's actually not the interesting story. The interesting story was just to do a cultural history of the period. Obviously we're not going to have enough time to talk about all the individuals and ideas in your book. So let's just get started with george orwell in nineteen eighty-four nine hundred eighty four is where most of the world got its definition of totalitarianism. And you really make it clear. Just how important. This book was by the late. Nineteen fifties big brother is almost anonymous with soviet communism. But you also note that orwell. Never set out to write an anti-communism book. He believed there were many roads to totalitarianism. So how did this happen. How did this one particular idea. Or interpretation of nineteen eighty-four win out over the others. Well you're right about orwell's intentions. He was semi persuaded by an american writer. James barnum wrote a book called the managerial revolution. That the future of mass societies might be some form of talibanism of the kind that he fictionalized is in nineteen eighty-four. He was warning people in particular leftwing intellectuals not to go down that road that there was danger at the end of it and that was an anxiety that many people had in late nineteen forties. That's what hunter rents or its origins. Talibanism is about. It could happen here so the warning was picked up by people who worry that the future of liberal democracies would some kind of communist states like the soviet union and also by people who worried that the future liberal democracies people on the left. It worth the future. Liberal democracies would be some kind of fascist state like germany so so the general anxiety but attala -tarian is spread across the political spectrum. Everybody was actress about it with a different future in behind and our will therefore spoke to everybody because it's very nonspecific and then the truth is i did not write about this much in the book that the novel also benefited as it. Animal farm from heavy promotion by the american government. Okay i have to interrupt here. Because most of this promotion was convert the cia that sent hundreds of thousands of coppins. Orwell's novel into the world. The cia also secretly funded and nineteen eighty-four movie. That came out in nineteen fifty-six but in the version that screened in the uk. Italy and germany. The cia changed orwell's nba. Yeah this version. Winston smith goes yelling down with big brother the cia turn nineteen eighty-four into a warning of soviet totalitarianism and proposed. That death was better than submission but this was just one interpretation of orwell's book. I'd love to get you to talk about. How orwell in nineteen eighty-four intellectuals and artists of the nineteen fifties who wanted to express they felt about mass culture in you know how they saw it as leading possibly to an orwellian future. Yeah the the people who were worried about a challenge tearing future like hana read were generally highly critical of mass market commercial. Entertainment like hollywood movies and so on and one feature of the period. That's very noticeable. Obviously now is the degree to which intellectuals bought into the avant-garde catch binary this idea that there's avangard art or fine art as critical distance from the state but that commercial culture is basically a former propaganda and obviously it can't be a foreign propaganda. it was in germany. it was to some extent in soviet union. But the idea was that. Hollywood is just duplicating. What the kremlin to soviet cinema and a lot people believe that so there was period that really up until the mid sixties in which that was taken for granted that mass culture popular culture was potentially dangerous and then that all goes away really by ninety sixty.

Western Washington University theater students attempted to cancel their departments fall play because their identities were being grossly misrepresented. In the decision of the play of the department decided that they would make them do the play. No exit by John Paul Sartre. From 1944. He was a very, very famous playwright and author who examined Human issues and problems. Encyclopedia Britannica describes that players the 1944. It was written at 44 that centers upon three recently deceased people and their experiences in the author's perception of hell. This is what theater is right. It's imaginary stuff. One of the characters is a predatory lesbian. You know when I was in theater in in college, and I did. We were taught that the purpose of theater is to to explore the human condition. You understand what makes people tick and two and you're playing another character. So you're not playing yourself right? Your identity. Doesn't exist. Their identities were grossly misrepresented. We didn't like it. Let me Here's what a letter that they wrote said When choosing a play for the upcoming season, there seemed to be a blind spot. Gender and sexuality were not considered. Well. And then went on to say We understand that this is a piece that's meant to challenge us as a department. But this play is not challenging. If it doesn't allow us to feel safe. How can I not feel safe? I don't get it. We have students do not shy away from challenging pieces, but we will be critiquing the department if they create an unsafe space. For us to create and I guess they're not going to do many plays, are they? Well, you can throw out the entire Shakespeare catalog and get rid of that. Anything in anything depicting, uh, racism, sexual depravity. Uh, Man's inhumanity to man. I mean, how many themes in in in plays about all that stuff? It's an exploration of People of humanity. Uh, students also condemned the play because it was written from the perspective. Ace of a cyst male writer. It was written by assist male writer Okay. It was written in 1944. The theater department is still decided to go ahead with the play. Although they did agree to provide content warnings, Okay? They're going to go ahead with the play. But are they gonna have actors to play the roles? If I don't know if the kids air testing if I'm directing? I'm going. I'm looking for a can you cast outside the building? I think, Western Washington University student and letter creator Katie Ginther told campus reform. She's hopeful that we will move forward with compassion, understanding between students and staff with respect of different points of view. Don't do that. One of the characters is a predatory lesbian. Was part of the letter. The stereotype surrounding I Nez is inaccurate and extremely harmful and perpetuates abusive ideas around lesbian identifying individuals. This is the wrong kind of queer representation that is very hurtful to LGBT Q. Plus people in the student theater community. You have absolutely completely misunderstood. What theater is about and why you're in there in the beginning, Isa Beyond me, you have no cock. I'm laughing about this because it's just so outrageously crazy, But it's not funny at all.

"In fact china's image was not really seen by anybody. Except for the gordon. that side. No on simone. Davar and john paul sought they hung around right after the revolution happened to take in the revolutionary spirit and john paul sartre. Sure sir tra- after having some conversations with che guevara he called him like the most complete man in existence a couple years after the revolution when they saw that fidel castro and the entire regime had actually imprisoned an artist that they knew they condemned everything that and fidel castro had done during that time. Saying like you know. The people of cuba do not seem joyous anymore. This is more of a dictatorship. So i think we can include that letter but i think that it's interesting to see the way that john jean paul. Sartre started to think about this man versus how he ended up thinking at least about the impact of the revolution cuba. So this picture. I wanted to tell you about the scene because i wanted you to know exactly. What was the moment that this photo was captured in. So this isn't shave looking off into you. Know some sort of battlefields or any other situation. This is changing about likely looking at gastro are likely looking at the scene of people who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. Also the picture that we know right now is china's image and its isolated. But the picture. The original one had a palm tree to the right side and a random man's face ever so slightly out of focus in profile to the left side. And this is really important because the minute you cropped up picture to isolate check about us face. That is when you take that moment and you separated from history that's when it becomes timeless and that is when it's become something that's transferable something that's easy to photocopy and distribute which is effectively. How we got here to the t shirt. The other key person in this distribution of this image is a man by the name. jim fitzpatrick artists. That meant shed a barn ireland and later came to cuba and visited alburto. Gordon he requested that he give him two copies of his photograph of Jim fitzpatrick took that image. Stylized it and alternate slightly. He put an f. all the way to the right hand side of the image part of chase shirt. If you're not looking for you'll never find it. I didn't wait this for five minutes and so indu doing this. Jim fitzpatrick has effectively. Stolen that copyright. Now this sort of raises the question of whether or not he's ever benefited or profited from it. We don't actually know. I'm willing to bet that he has but this is really important because it was not supposed to have copyright under communist ideals you do not have copyright artists. Don't exist in the same way that you and i maybe understand are still exist. Where credit is given to people when they make stuff..

So even though you might not personally know what that does or means anything, it means that there's other people who are able to look at the code and see how it works. That's good. Pilgrim is open source on the quiet side. Um, it does decentralized. They don't publish their, uh, server motion algorithm. Which signal does I just read an article on this? Honest today that compared WhatsApp signal and And single published their server code. Uh, signal. I don't know if they published their server code, but they're, uh, like my understanding is that the encryption is end end. So it Basically, they don't have to, in order for you to know that your um your Your your communications are secure from them because basically the They would be secure from the server code. No matter what. The server code Woz because they're just like Bitcoin doesn't You don't need to see the source code of the off the Web server that you post your Bitcoin address on to know that they can't break into your Bitcoin. It's a separate thing. Yeah, I mean, so there's there's different. There's different, resented encryption. And then there's just kind of like regular encryption, and the server can see what's regularly encrypted, presumably and the end an encryption. It shouldn't be able Todenhofer can't see so well, you know, again, Telegram is essentially manage platform, so it's not the best, but it's better than ah, lot of the centrally managed platforms out there, and it's got the user base that I can get more content than I have time to read a telegram telegram is better than thin naps like discord or whats app. Where were you? I would I would say that I'm lean more towards telegram than signal, but I don't have Edward. Say no, Like signal. Well, that's a good reason not to be a little bit cautious of your security. Because signal in Crips, the meta information, so the way signal works. People can't tell who you're texting. They can't tell when you're texting them, and WhatsApp actually uses the same encryption protocols as signal but They don't know. Crypt. The meta information. How do you know that? What's that uses? The same protocols s source adds. They're not opened doors, but they're Oh, yeah. Facebook's claiming they've got an encrypted chat up Everybody. You believe them, right? Eh? So they may be telling you truth on that with that they're using the same stuff a signal. However, what they don't have got a copy of the key is that they also have a little program that's built into it. That's a back door that allowed them to intercept. Every one of your messages wouldn't trust that That's only possible. Yeah, well wouldn't trust open its Facebook. That's reason enough to not trust what's up. Bad news. Let's go to your calls and thoughts here. We got a anarcho Republican on the line, calling us from Montana listening to Katy Excel there, and I think you go ahead. Hey, thanks, guys for keeping it light. There's some dark times for freedom last few days. Well, the last few decades e wanna know what I was free because I don't recall what what I was wondering is one of you mentioned that you religious as wonder if you're familiar with The theology of philosopher Jacques, aloof. I am not. No, no. Can you spell that name? It sounds fishy Anarchist, Christian spell the name Jackie. And what is in one of his books That's really good. He did a commentary in the Book of Revelation. And the reason the reason I ask is because I was going to use the metaphor. You know, we should When you punched the beast in the mouth, they turn around and it bites back. Yeah, His idea of the beast is human government. The season is the greatest evil that has ever existed. I think he's right about that. Absolutely No. How do you spell this guy's last year? Isn't it your ears against those last day? E L l u L and there he was. He was a good friend of John Paul Sartre. Okay, uh and he fought in the French revolution. In fact, there's a there's a tree planted in Israel. He's one of the No, the avenue of the righteous because he he actually did what he could to save Jews. Writer. He's a very interesting he has a lot to say about propaganda key. He's post war. Existentialist, But he's one of that most people don't know about and what he talks about is not propaganda and technology is we're living it right now. And to him, That's to be And it zoning.
