Navigating Authority and Experience

This chapter focuses on the transition from academia to a sabbatical, alongside the launch of a new book and video series. It explores the complexities of political discourse through the lens of liberalism and critiques of Enlightenment thought, while emphasizing the interplay of sacredness and authority in modern societal issues. Additionally, it examines the evolution of American mythology, particularly through the 'Top Gun' films, and the shifting paradigms of authority in contemporary culture.
